Chapter 564: Petition for Nomination
After this great victory, the people of the city have completely agreed with the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
From this moment on, all Tehran people will proudly tell their descendants that we are the people of the Ming Dynasty!
The humiliation they suffered is a thing of the past, and from now on, no one will come to plunder their food and belongings, take their women, and torture them like dogs.
The construction site of the new city is in full swing, and the scene is spectacular with buildings rising from the ground.
Zhu Qizhen still did not dare to relax his vigilance, because Timur's army could be overwhelmed at any time.
The Ming army relied on crushing-level weapons and equipment to catch everyone off guard, but if the opponent calmed down and carefully studied countermeasures, the war was likely to be deadlocked.
The biggest disadvantage of their side is the supply of ammunition, because it is too far away from the Ming Dynasty, one bullet is one less, and one shell is one less, relying on the temporary gunpowder workshop, it can rush to make a batch of crude black powder, and make some land mines, but there is nothing to be done about precision bullets and shells.
This thing requires a high industrial base, and even in the Ming Dynasty, the annual output is extremely limited.
Zhu Qizhen stared at the map thoughtfully.
There was the sound of horses' hooves outside the tent, and then Yuan Bin hurried over.
"Your Majesty, the other party has made a big move!"
Zhu Qizhen didn't raise his head and asked, "Did Timur start to transfer troops?" ”
"Exactly!"
Yuan Bin looked nervous and said: "Timur Khan Abu Saiza issued an edict, the whole territory is deployed, and major cities such as Barihe, Samarkand, and Herat have already begun to act!" ”
Zhu Qizhen found the corresponding position on the map and drew circles one by one.
"I can see it, the other party never thought about living in harmony with my Daming, this battle is inevitable."
In fact, he had been mentally prepared for a long time.
Because the entire Western Regions accounted for nearly half of the territory of the Timurid Khanate, it was impossible for the other party to obediently cede it.
What's more, Herat, the capital of the Timurid Khanate, was on the Silk Road, and if it was handed over, Abu Saiza would have to move to India.
That's not going to work, India has a good location, and sooner or later you're going to have to get it......
Zhu Qizhen retracted his thoughts and continued: "The other party reorganizes the soldiers and horses, it must be preparing to seek a decisive battle, this is a tough battle, you can't wait, you immediately choose a few clever ones from the Jinyi Guard, ride a fast horse to send my edict to Hamiwei, remember, on the road to find sparsely populated paths, if you encounter an enemy, try to avoid it, don't fall in love with the war!" ”
Yuan Bin saluted and said, "The minister will arrange it!" ”
"Wait a minute!"
"Your Majesty, do you still have orders?"
Zhu Qizhen said: "Change them into Mongolian clothes!" ”
Yuan Bin immediately reacted: "The emperor is clever!" ”
It is about 5,000 miles from Tehran to Hamiwei, and if you send fast horses, it will take as little as ten days or as much as half a month, but I don't know if the road can be passed smoothly.
Now that the Mongols are moving troops on a large scale, it is an opportunity.
As long as you avoid those areas where the troops are concentrated, and specifically look for sparsely populated paths, even if you are discovered, at first glance, you will think that it is a Mongolian officer who is giving orders!
Three days later, a detachment of soldiers arrived in Tehran.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
The patrolling guards were immediately on alert, and the muzzles of the black holes were pointed at the incoming people.
"Don't shoot, don't shoot......"
One of them shouted in an extremely lame voice: "Don't shoot, we are people, we are people......"
"Nonsense, I know you're human, who are you?"
"We are human beings, we are human ......"
"Are you fucking sick, I'm not blind! Tell me, who are you? ”
"We are human ...... No, no, we are sheep, we are sheep! ”
"Damn, it's a bunch of crazy people, get out of here!"
"We are sheep, we are sheep!"
At this time, one of the patrol team reacted and said, "Boss, do they want to say that they are black sheep?" ”
The leader of the team thought for a moment and asked, "Are you black sheep people?" ”
"Yes, we are sheep!"
"What are you doing here?"
"We are sheep ......"
"I know you are sheep, I ask you, what are you doing here?"
"We are sheep ......"
"Damn, shut up!"
The muzzle of the black hole poked out again, and the black sheep man suddenly shut up in fright.
Karashah had no choice but to stand up and say, "I am Karashah, the leader of the Black Sheep Tribe, and I ask to meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
It's a pity that he can't speak Chinese, and the other party can't understand it.
"Damn, it's not as good as the one just now......"
The patrol leader muttered a few words, looking at the other party's appearance, there must be something, so he said: "Get off their weapons and take them away!" ”
Not long after, Sun Jixian came to the big tent of the Chinese army: "Your Majesty, Karashah, the leader of the black sheep, asks to face the saint!" ”
"Karashah, the one who came to negotiate before the war?"
"Back to the emperor, it's this person."
"Isn't he the younger brother of the Black Sheep Chief?"
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that Master Bei led people to blow up the hometown of the Black Sheep Man, and the previous leader, Gahanshah, was burned to death in the city, and Karashah naturally took over the position of the leader."
"So, I helped him sit in this position?"
"Hmm...... You can say the same thing......"
Zhu Qizhen asked again, "What is he here for?" ”
"I asked to meet the saint, saying that I wanted to negotiate."
"Still negotiating?"
Zhu Qizhen couldn't help laughing: "What other bargaining chips does he have?" ”
Sun Jixian asked: "Your Majesty, the Black Sheep people were still enemies of us not long ago, do you take this opportunity to stab them to prevent future troubles!" ”
"Don't worry!"
Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, and then asked, "How many people did he bring?" ”
"There are only a dozen guards around Karashah, and the minister has already sent scouts to check on them, but there is no trace of the brigade around."
"I only brought a dozen people, and I was quite sincere, so let's do it, wasn't Wang Yue received it last time, and let him go, try this person's intentions first."
"Yes!"
Sun Ji first found Wang Yue, the two discussed, and then Wang Yue went to dock.
"We're meeting again!"
When Karashah heard this, he immediately stood up and said respectfully: "Lord Wang! ”
Wang Yue was a little surprised, he hadn't seen him for a long time, and he had become so polite.
"Your Excellency Shah, please be seated!"
Karashah did not sit down, but said: "Today, in the name of the leader of the black sheep, I request to restart negotiations with Daming. ”
Wang Yue smiled: "Haven't you already talked about it, what else is there to talk about?" ”
"No, you can talk, you can talk!"
Karashah waved his hand again and again, and said, "Regarding the conditions proposed by Da Ming, the Black Sheep Tribe accepts them all!" ”
Rui, who was standing on the side, was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the Black Sheep Tribe to come to surrender so soon.
Although the Ming Dynasty is strong, it is isolated in Tehran, and if the three-way army of White Sheep, Black Sheep and Timur continues to pressurize, the result is still difficult to say.
Now it's okay, the black sheep have directly defected, and the pressure on Tehran has plummeted.
He translated these words, and after Wang Yue heard it, he did not immediately express his opinion, but frowned and thought about it.
It is true that if the black sheep is willing to surrender, it is good news for Daming.
The northern defense line could be withdrawn, and the Black Sheep could also supply Tehran, so that the pressure could go directly to Timur and the White Sheep.
However, he subconsciously thought of one thing, could it be a fraud?
In this era, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has become more popular, as long as you have read a few paragraphs, or heard that Mr. Storyteller has spoken a few paragraphs, before the two armies, as long as they take the initiative to surrender, I am afraid that they will immediately associate with fraudulent surrender.
Wang Yue was born as a second-class jinshi, his mind turned fast, in just a moment, he had already come up with a scene, the Timurid Khanate issued a secret order to Karashakh, first to the Ming army to surrender, waiting for the opportunity to steal the information in the city, and when the war began, there would be another disaster......
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he chuckled: "Your Excellency Shah is really here to surrender?" ”
Karashah nodded: "It's sincere, very true!" ”
"If that's the case, the official won't go around the bush, about the conditions proposed last time, ......"
"I say yes, I say yes!"
"No!"
Wang Yue shook his head slowly, and said: "If His Excellency Shah had such an attitude during the last negotiation, it would be a win-win situation, but the war has begun, more than eighty percent of the Black Sheep Department has been killed and wounded, and the capital has also been reduced to ruins. ”
Karashah's face was ugly, and after a while, he said: "Lord Wang, I am the leader of the black sheep, and I came to the door in person today, your emperor did not come forward, and the chief officer of Tehran City did not come forward, I have admitted it, please don't humiliate me again!" ”
"I didn't humiliate you, what I said is all the truth, and negotiations should also be about bargaining chips, what leverage do you have now?"
"Our Black Sheep has a very large territory, the size of twenty Tehran!"
"No matter how big the territory you have, that's before. You don't have any soldiers now, what do you do to control these territories? ”
Karashah darkened his face and said, "Actually, I still have more than 5,000 soldiers. ”
"Your 50,000 people can't even defeat 1,000 of us, and your capital has 20,000 defenders, and it was captured by our 200 people, I don't know where you got the courage to negotiate with me."
"Lord Wang, please be respectful!"
"What if I don't want to?"
"Then ...... Okay, you humiliate me as much as you want, and when you're done humiliating, we'll continue to negotiate. ”
Seeing the other party's appearance, Wang Yue was even more convinced, it must be a fraud!
"Since you're insisting on negotiating, well, I'm going to make a request."
Karashah hurriedly said: "I will release the captive people of Tehran, and promise not to expand the territorial borders, and I am willing to accept the canonization of His Majesty the Ming Emperor and declare myself a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty to the outside world. ”
These three conditions were put forward by Wang Yue during the last negotiation, which were considered to be very excessive.
In retrospect, how good these conditions were!
Unexpectedly, after Wang Yue heard it, he just shook his head.
"As I said earlier, these conditions have been nullified."
"I know, I mean I can accept and, on that basis, accept more of your conditions."
"No more."
"What?"
Wang Yue raised his right index finger and said slowly: "I mean, there is only one request from our side today. ”
Karashah only felt that happiness came too suddenly, and he didn't want any three, just one, and he earned it!
"Please!"
Wang Yue looked into his eyes and said, "From now on, the black sheep will be included in the Ming Dynasty." ”
Karashah didn't understand and asked, "Belong to the Ming Dynasty...... What is the meaning? ”
Wang Yue explained: "If the last negotiation was reached, the Black Sheep would still be an independent regime, but it would only be subordinated to the Ming Dynasty and belong to the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, and your brother would most likely be named the Black Sheep King, whose identity is equivalent to that of the Prince of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"However, you didn't agree, but chose to fight with my Daming, and now that you are defeated and come to negotiate again, the conditions will inevitably change, you listen, from now on, the black sheep is no longer an independent regime, but changed to the black sheep capital."
After listening to this, Karashah immediately asked what Dusi was.
This didn't need Wang Yue to answer in person, Lu Yi explained it to him.
At the same time, Karashah also understands why three conditions have become one.
As long as the black sheep are included in the Ming Dynasty, the people of Tehran who were taken away are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they are the same everywhere, if they want to come back, they will go back, and if they don't want to come back, they will stay, anyway, they are all Ming territory.
As for territorial expansion......
It's all become the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and there is still Mao's territory!
Even if you want to expand, it will be the expansion of the Ming Dynasty, and it has nothing to do with the black sheep.
Karashah asked: "Then what should I do?" ”
"Thinking that you are on the precipice, and there is still a trace of repentance, the emperor will leave you and continue to serve as the leader of the Black Sheep Division."
"Will I also be crowned a prince?"
"Of course not, your position is to be a commander, unless you ......"
Wang Yue thought for a while and continued: "Unless you make great military exploits, because the Ming Dynasty has always been knighted without military exploits!" ”
Karashah pondered for a moment, then asked, "How can you count yourself as a war achievement?" ”
Wang Yue smiled and said: "It's very simple, there is an opportunity now!" ”
Karashah immediately came to his senses and asked: "What chance?" ”
Wang Yue said lightly: "The Timurid Khanate is deploying troops on a large scale, at most two months, there will definitely be a decisive battle in Tehran, this is your chance!" ”
Karashah thought about it for a long time, seemed to secretly make up his mind, and then said: "I promise!" ”
"Don't think about it anymore?"
"Don't think about it, I'll say yes to everything."
Wang Yue felt that the other party was deceitful, so he said: "Do you know what it means to vote for a name?" ”
Rui was stunned and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Wang Yue was a little speechless, he didn't even understand the translation, and Karashah definitely didn't understand it.
It's really hard to talk to these people, and you can't use any rhetoric with a little bit of cultural background.
"It's a way for you to show your loyalty, for example, if you have five thousand soldiers and horses, enough to attack a small tribe under the command of the Timurid Khanate and bring their heads, this is called a name!"
Karashah frowned and asked, "If I can do it, can I be knighted?" ”
"Not necessarily, but ......"
Wang Yue paused and continued: "You can gain the emperor's trust!" ”
Karashah put his right hand on his chest and said, "Wait for my news!" ”
