648 Sit Still (2-in-1)

In the process of the growth of the Warat Department in that year, in order to conquer Hamiwei and obtain the resources and population of the entire Kansai Seven Guards, a mighty western expedition was also held, and the commander was Bolonahal, the eldest son of the Heavenly Sage Khan.

At that time, Warat was at the peak of his tribe, punching the Tatar Mongols in the east, stepping on the Ming Empire in the south, and conquering a small Kansai Qiwei and the weakened Eastern Chagatai Khanate in the west.

In this way, the Uzbek Khanate was destroyed by the way, and the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate were fought at the border position of Hamiwei, and the result was, of course, a complete victory for the Warat cavalry.

However, at that time, the eyes were all on the eastern Tatars and the southern Ming Dynasty, and they did not look down on these barren and bitter cold places in the west, and after completing the strategic goal of conquering the seven guards of Kansai, the Western Expeditionary Army waved its division to fight the battle of Tumubao, and the two sides never had contact since.

Today, I don't sweat to bring up the old things, in order to put pressure on Yexian and at the same time ensure that the benefits are obtained to convince the tribal aristocracy. After all, it doesn't take any sweat to understand the crisis of "cold lips and cold teeth", but some people are short-sighted and may not necessarily accept this set of rhetoric.

They will think that the Eastern Chagatai Khanate "taking precautions" to send troops to the Ming Dynasty is a meaningless move to waste money and money, and it may also weaken the power of the Khanate and give Yexian, a traitor, an opportunity.

If you want to stop the mouths of the traditional conservatives of the tribe, you must first come up with real bargaining chips, instead of just relying on a sentence of "cold lips and teeth" as now.

Listening to the bargaining without sweating, Tiansheng Khan also suddenly laughed arrogantly, and then replied in a mocking tone: "Confess? Price? ”

"Don't sweat, the primary goal of the Ming Kingdom is the Mongol Khanate, but as long as Ben Khan is willing to give up the Seven Guards of Guanxi, there is no place for the land of Mobei for thousands of miles!"

"And you are facing the Ming Dynasty in the east and fighting the Timurid Khanate in the west, and this Khan also heard that the brother Yunusi, who did not spend sweat, married his three daughters to Busain Khan of the Timurid Khanate, so as to obtain a piece of land to recruit troops and horses, and prepare to continue to attack the Eastern Chagatai Khanate to regain the Khanate."

"If you really want to talk about the situation, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, including you who don't sweat, is more dangerous than this Khan."

"Remember, Ben Khan came with sincerity, not to ask you for help, but to help you avoid the danger of losing your country."

Tiansheng Khan is also a hero who was killed in the sea of corpses and blood after all, and it is simply wishful thinking to go through old accounts to hold him without sweating. At this time, he was also the first to show his might, and he told a truth without sweating very bluntly, that is, if he really came to the realm of the destroyed country, the first to die must be the Eastern Chagatai Khanate!

"What did you say!"

This arrogant remark immediately angered the Eastern Chagatai generals who stood behind Bu Hua Khan, and compared with the high-level nobles, the middle and low-level generals and herdsmen cared more about the glory of Genghis Khan's descendants.

Being able to suppress disgust and anger, and negotiate with this chaotic minister and thief is already giving the other party a face. As a result, I didn't expect to be so rampant at first, and I didn't pay attention to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate without sweating at all, and my anger was ignited on the spot.

"Dare to be disrespectful to the Great Khan, believe it or not, Lao Tzu killed you!"

The generals such as Amur, Boromao, and Luohai, who were standing behind him, also stood up and glared angrily at the generals of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

Without sweating, he called his name first, and did not use the title of "Heavenly Sage Khan", which actually made the people of the Mongolian Khanate very unhappy in their hearts. However, this time it is a matter of life and death, and the ancestor of the sweatless sweat is the second son of Genghis Khan's wife, it can be said that the blood of the Golden Family is extremely pure.

Even if they are unhappy in their hearts, they can only endure it because of the face of the Golden Family.

Now what is this Dongchagatai general who jumped out, and he dares to shout at the Heavenly Holy Khan first, and on another occasion, Bo Luo Mao, Luo Hai and others can kill him on the spot!

"Come on, I'm going to be afraid of you?"

"If you have the ability, do it!"

It was supposed to be a good negotiation, but it was full of gunpowder in an instant, and the soldiers and horses on both sides were a little impulsive and directly showed their swords and guns.

However, in this noisy scene, Tiansheng Khan also followed the two of them first, but they looked at each other without saying a word. In fact, they all knew in their hearts that a strong Ming Dynasty would be a devastating blow to the nomads of the steppe.

Just like the strong Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty back then, the Central Plains Dynasty and the Grassland Empire can only exist in the same time and space.

Whether the Ming Dynasty first destroyed the Mongol Khanate, or then destroyed the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, as long as one side fell, the other side could not escape the fate of destruction.

Tiansheng Khan and Bu Hua are fighting for patience, betting that the other party can bow their heads first to obtain greater benefits. It's a pity that this world speaks by strength, and after the unification of the Mongolian Khanate, coupled with the strength of the three Jurchen tribes, it is not a problem to be able to piece together 200,000 people who control the strings.

The Eastern Chagatai Khanate had only 60,000 men, and even if the whole country was full of soldiers, it would have reached the limit of its national strength by dispatching 100,000 iron cavalry, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of the Mongol Khanate was much weaker.

The chips on the table can allow him to gamble, and too many people are eyeing him without sweating, and he doesn't have the capital to gamble!

After the confrontation, Bu Hua finally spoke first: "The Eastern Chagatai Khanate can send troops to unite with the Warat Department to fight against the Ming Dynasty, but you must provide certain equipment and food and grass, otherwise I will not be able to explain to the clan elders and sons." ”

Bu Khan's words are quite sincere, as I said first, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate experienced fratricidal divisions in the early years, and then had to face the Timurid Empire and the Warat tribe from the east and west, and finally there was a huge gap in national strength.

Against such a behemoth as the Ming Empire, without the support of the Mongol Khanate, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate would be able to consume itself to death.

"Well, Ben Khan promises you."

Compared with the pros and cons of not sweating, I agreed very simply this time, because the current Mongol Khanate has experienced the capture of Tumubao in the First World War, and there is a large surplus of weapons and equipment. Rather than putting it in the warehouse to rust and rot, and then the battle preparation was recaptured by the Ming army, it is better to give a part of it to improve the strength of the Mongolian friendly army.

In addition, in terms of grain and grass, although Kansai is a guard built by Mongolian tribes, in fact, they are not completely in the stage of nomadic life, especially in the Hamiwei area, the land is fertile, and it belongs to the rare oasis area of the Western Regions, with 10,000 acres of grain and grass.

The grain yield and stability of agricultural operations were far greater than that of animal husbandry at this time, and those who won the Kansai Seven Guards were not short of grain and grass at all.

A crucial compromise was reached, and then the atmosphere between the two sides eased for a long time, so that they could happily drink and talk to each other.

However, when the discussion was over and he was about to get up and leave, he looked at the sweatless sweat in front of him and said: "This time Ben Khan came with friendship and sincerity, and I hope that the next time I meet with Bu Han, remember to call the Heavenly Saint Khan." ”

Before reaching an agreement, he chose to forbear those who did not sweat by their names. can blindly tolerate regression, it is definitely not the style of the prairie hero, and you have to let the other party learn what is called respect!

Hearing Yexian's words of hidden warning, Bu Hua's originally smiling face instantly became gloomy. As a descendant of the Golden Family, he wanted to refute the other party's behavior of arrogating the Khan, but reason told him not to sweat, and he had endured his "rude" behavior to the limit.

The dignity of the Khan is not to be defiled!

"Yes, Heavenly Saint Khan."

didn't wait for the next meeting, and didn't sweat to give him the title he wanted, and at the same time cast the foundation of this cooperation.

Getting the desired response, Tiansheng Khan also walked out of the tent with a smile first, and when the summer sun shone on his face, he looked to the far south, this time between the Central Plains Dynasty and the Steppe Empire, there would be a real battle of national fortune again.

If the Mongol Khanate can win once, it can win a second time!

In September of the fourth year of Ming Liang, the days officially entered the stage of autumn high and cool, but Cao Jixiang did not feel the slightest comfortable coolness, he was being deducted by Shen Yichenke's salary and silver.

The Ministry of Finance has been two months in a row, with the waste paper of the Ming Dynasty to deduct the silver, the first use is indeed in the Ming Dynasty expeditionary army retreat stage, it is reasonable to say that the supply of border passes is tight.

As a result, now the Western Expeditionary Army and Yu Qian's troops have all cowered within the defense line of the Great Wall, and the summer grain has also been delivered to the Beijing Division from the south along the canal.

Even if Cao Jixiang reacts slowly, he can realize that something is wrong with the situation, Shen Yichen is deliberately deducting his own financial resources!

In the first two months of salary shortage, Cao Jixiang forcibly embezzled the salary of Tengxiang Siwei to make up for the shortfall of the generals of the relatives in Beijing. Now the third month's salary is about to be issued, if the Ministry of Finance is still using Daming treasure money to make up the number, I'm afraid Tengxiang Siwei will not be able to hold it.

In the past two months, Wang Cheng's guy has come to him to complain many times, saying that Tengxiang Siwei has reached a stage similar to the suspension of salary, and the following soldiers are complaining, and there is a huge contradiction and rift between the Han generals and the generals.

If we continue to favor one over the other in this way, I am afraid that there will be internal chaos, and then there will be great trouble.

For these financial pressures, Cao Jixiang can be said to have gray hair, he realized that this is Shen Yichen began to shoot at him, but to what extent the other party has made up his mind, Cao Jixiang has not yet made an accurate assessment.

Is it a little punishment, or is it a weed?

In the former's current state, Cao Jixiang can choose to forbear, wait for an accident on the frontier to find an opportunity, and bring down Shen Yichen in one fell swoop. But if it's the latter, it means that the other party doesn't give him a way out, and he has to think about breaking the net in advance.

Just when Cao Jixiang was hesitating, his heir Cao Qin walked into the house, clasped his fists and said to him: "Father, the child has received news from the generals of Tengxiang Siwei that the generals we raised have already fought with the Han generals in the camp. ”

"It is said that the arrears of military salaries are too serious, Wang Cheng did not continue to give priority to the distribution of generals this time, and chose to treat them equally, so the two sides were dissatisfied and started to act."

Almost at the moment when Cao Qin's voice fell, a little eunuch standing behind Cao Jixiang said: "Wang Cheng is tired of being crooked, even the general under his father-in-law dares to be in arrears, it seems that the position of the palm seal of the imperial horse supervisor has been sitting for too long!" ”

The little eunuch who said this was none other than Gonggong Liu, who had humiliated Wang Cheng at the beginning, and he relied on Cao Jixiang's identity as a righteous son, and he never put the eunuch of the palm print of the imperial horse supervisor in his eyes from beginning to end.

Since Wang Cheng is not capable, he can just give up his position, and those who are capable will live there.

As for who this "capable person" is, Gonggong Liu feels that he is very suitable.

"Shut up!"

In normal times, Cao Jixiang is estimated to take advantage of the situation to mock Wang Cheng, this time he is angry, this kind of quick tongue is meaningless, it will only make people feel more and more irritable.

Of course, the more important thing is that Cao Jixiang knows very well that if the salary continues to be in arrears, the contradiction between the Han generals and the generals of Tengxiang Siwei will intensify, which is no wonder Wang Cheng. In other words, the Beijing camp, which was personally commanded by himself, could not deal with a similar situation, and trying his best to pacify it was the only means.

"Did Teng Xiang Siwei make trouble and suppress it?"

Cao Jixiang asked Cao Qin rhetorically, and there was a risk of exposing himself to support his family if he made a big fuss.

"Wang Cheng has pressed it, but it is about to come to the day of the payment of salaries, and it will really be unbearable at that time."

Hearing the answer of his heir Cao Qin, Cao Jixiang had a serious expression on his face, in fact, about the matter of the silver, he had knocked on the side to find the help of Emperor Mingliang.

But just as Shen Yichen had no way to face Cao Jixiang's internal official advantage before, this kind of thing about the foreign court's salary and silver is not something that eunuchs should be concerned about at all, and what is even more outrageous is that Cao Jixiang served as the master of ceremonies and the palm seal, not the palm seal of the imperial horse supervisor who was directly in charge of the soldiers and horses.

Emperor Ming Liang is already nine years old, according to the ancient habitual imaginary age algorithm, he can be regarded as a ten-year-old child, and the ancestral system of eunuchs not being allowed to interfere in politics can still be clearly understood.

"Liu Chong, you go to the twelve prisons in the palace to take a turn, and use our family's name to ask them to provide a batch of silver for emergency!"

had no choice, Cao Jixiang could only give an order to the righteous son behind him, and find a way to scavenge a layer of oil and water from the inner prison to stabilize the situation of Tengxiang Siwei. After all, the Ministry of Finance has recovered the internal funds this year, and the palm seals of the 12 supervisors are more or less greedy for silver, and it is time to take them out to tide over the difficulties.

"Yes, the little one understands."

Liu Chong made Cao Jixiang angry just now, and now he has the opportunity to show his loyalty, so he naturally wants to curry favor with him.

It's just that when Liu Chong's figure walked away, Cao Qin said: "Father, Tengxiang Siwei has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he is paid more than 100,000 taels of silver every month, and he can't last long by looting from the twelve prisons. ”

"Earlier, Shen Yichen withdrew his internal money, which led to the lack of salary and silver for the generals raised in Beijing, and now he is attacking Tengxiang Siwei, clearly for the purpose of targeting his father's military power."

"If we continue to retreat like this, will we sit back and wait for death?"
