"Great Khan, Fan Yongdou asks to see." A Mongolian soldier came to report.

Karaqin Khan frowned: "What is he doing here?" Missing! ”

Just after the defeat and heavy losses, how could Karaqin Khan be in the mood to see Fan Yongdou.

"Great Khan, Fan Yongdou said that there is a way to solve the current predicament of the Karaqin Ministry." But the subordinate did not retreat, and continued.

Karaqin Khan frowned and looked at his subordinates, knowing that most of this guy had received the benefits of the Han people. I had the heart to reprimand, thought about it, and decided to see that Fan Yongdou.

Perhaps, then the Han people really have a way? Karaqin Khan comforted himself.

Fan Yongdou was quickly brought in.

"Fan Yongdou, you said you can help Ben Khan solve the dilemma?" Karaqin Khan asked directly.

Fan Yongdou bowed first, straightened up and said, "Yes." ”

"Then tell me what is Ben Khan's predicament?" Qalaqin Khan asked.

Fan Yongdou sighed: "The Great Khan was defeated by the Chahar Department one after another, and the Nalin Dan Khan was ambitious to unify the Mongol tribes, and he also saw the right of tribute trade owned by Karaqin, and he would soon launch an attack here. Great Khan, the danger of your destruction is at hand. ”

Karaqin Khan's face was ugly, but he didn't expect that a single Han merchant could see that he was already in a desperate situation, could it be that the Karaqin Department was really in a desperate situation?

"What can you do, though, if it works, Ben Khan will be greatly rewarded." Karaqin Khan asked expectantly.

Maybe this Han man really has a way to solve his own dilemma.

"Great Khan, at the moment, Chahar is powerful, and the three alliances of Karaqin, Tumut, and Ordos are not its opponents, and the only way is to avoid its edge and leave here temporarily." Fan Yongdou continued.

"Leave?" Karaqin Khan's face sank, "Did you come up with such a stinky idea?" Didn't Ben Khan know that he could hide from the Chahar attack by leaving? However, with dozens of tribes and 780,000 tribes under the jurisdiction of Ben Khan, how easy is it to find a place to live? ”

Fan Yongdou said with a smile: "I heard that the Mongolians have always built water and grass to live, where can they not settle down?" The Great Khan is reluctant to trade power with the Ming Dynasty, right? ”

Karaqin Khan was silent, it was obvious that Fan Yongdou was right, he was reluctant to trade rights, and he was reluctant to leave the grassland north of Zhangjiakou.

"With all due respect, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep the right to trade at the moment, what is the right to trade compared to the life and death of the entire tribe? If the Karaqin tribe becomes stronger and defeats Lin Dan Khan and returns here, he will naturally be able to regain the right to trade. Fan Yongdou persuaded.

Karaqin Khan sighed: "You're right, but where can I go in this big desert grassland?" ”

The Karaqin tribe is a large tribe, and it is really not easy to find a place suitable for the nomadic herding of tens of thousands of tribesmen, and even if it is migrated, it can avoid the attack of the Chahar tribe?

Fan Yongdou said: "This is exactly what I want to say next. Chahar was powerful, and the right-wing Mongols were not its opponents, but Lin Dan Khan was afraid of the Later Jin Jurchens in Liaodong, and the Great Khan could lead his troops to the east to defect to the Later Jin Khan Huang Taiji, and Lin Dan Khan would not dare to attack the Karaqin Department again. ”

Karaqin Khan was immediately displeased: "What is the difference between defecting to Huangtaiji and being annexed by Houjin, and surrendering to Lin Dan Khan?" ”

Fan Yongdou said: "I didn't say that the Great Khan surrendered to Houjin, but an alliance with Houjin, how can it be the same as being annexed by Lin Dan Khan?" ”

Karaqin Khan snorted coldly: "Ben Khan fled to Liaoxi at the end of his rope, and Huang Taiji will inevitably take the opportunity to annex me." ”

Even if he is at the end of his rope, as a descendant of the Golden Family, Karaqin Khan has his own pride, how can he be willing to join the Jurchens?

Fan Yongdou smiled slightly, he had already guessed Karaqin Khan's thoughts, and continued: "If the Great Khan does not go to Liaoxi, then he will go to the hometown of Duoyan in Jibei and join the Wuliangha tribes. ”

Karaqin Khan's expression was slightly moved, he also wanted to go to Uliangha, but the Wuliangha tribes were nominally under the jurisdiction of the Karaqin Ministry, but in fact they were independent, and their various ministries and Taiji might not be willing to accept the Karaqin headquarters.

"Great Khan, you are the co-leader of the Uliangha tribes, and you naturally have great righteousness, as long as you give enough benefits to the ministries, they will definitely be willing to belong to the Great Khan. After the integration of the Wuliangha tribes, the strength of Karaqin increased greatly, even the Houjin could not be underestimated, and when the alliance with the Houjin was reached, it would definitely be able to expel Chahar and recapture the Zhangbei grassland. Fan Yongdou used the means of business negotiation and was kind and seductive.

Karaqin Khan was really moved by what he said, but he was puzzled: "But how can this Khan have enough benefits for the Uliangha tribes?" ”

Fan Yongdou smiled slightly, Karaqin Khan finally got set.

"This is a ploy for the Great Khan. To the south is Zhangjiakou, where there is countless wealth and the accumulation of dozens of Jin merchants.

As long as you break through the border wall and occupy Zhangjiakou, you can reap endless wealth and tens of thousands of people.

With the wealth obtained from Zhangjiakou, the Wuliangha tribes were bribed, the captured Han people were used to farm the land and shepherd, and the Han craftsmen were used to build weapons and armor, it only took a few years to gather and have enough strength to fight a decisive battle with the Chahar tribes, not to mention that it was easy to recapture this grassland and unify the southern tribes. ”

Karaqin Khan suddenly realized: "After talking for a long time, you still have to fool Ben Khan to attack the Ming Dynasty!"

Ben Khan has just been defeated, the people have suffered heavy losses, the Xuanfu Ming army is strong and strong, Ben Khan doesn't want to hit the stone with an egg! ”

Fan Yongdou smiled and said: "The Great Khan has misunderstood, and he has no intention of harming the Great Khan. Although there were many Xuanfu Ming troops, they were negligent in training and weak in combat power, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Moreover, since it was suggested that the Great Khan send troops to attack Ming, there was naturally a way to help the Great Khan break through the border wall. ”

Karaqin Khan hesitated: "Do you really have a way to help Ben Khan attack Zhangjiakou?" ”

For Zhangjiakou's wealth, it is false to say that he is not moved. However, Zhangjiakou is well defended and there are many castles, so it is not easy to break through the wall and enter.

Fan Yongdou said proudly: "I have been doing business in Zhangjiakou for more than 20 years, and I know the bottom of each fort well, and it is easy to help the Great Khan break through the wall!" ”

Karaqin Khan said curiously: "But you are a Ming person, why do you want to help Ben Khan deal with your people?" Do you know what happens if Ben Khan breaks through the wall? ”

Fan Yongdou's face was gloomy: "I am a Ming person, and I have worked hard in Zhangjiakou for decades to accumulate a large family business. If there were no merchants such as us, how could there be the current prosperity of Zhangjiakou, and how could there be peace between Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty.

However, the emperor ordered the seizure of my store, the killing of my family, and the destruction of decades of business!

Although I am a Ming person, I have a deep hatred with the Ming Dynasty. As long as the Great Khan can break through Zhangjiakou, kill Hong Chengchou, and avenge me, Fan Yongdou is willing to be a Great Khan dog and horse in this life! In this life, I am willing to be a slave of the Great Khan, and I will no longer be a Ming man in this life! ”

Fan Yongdou's eyes were red, and he said with hatred.

Karaqin Khan was also a little moved: "If you break your family and destroy your clan, you naturally want to take revenge." Well, Ben Khan promised you to send troops to Zhangjiakou! ”
