People are like this, when they are faced with a choice between life and death, they generally choose to save their lives first.

But when I found that I had no worries about my life, I began to think about it again, to think about some things that I didn't have.

Shuo Lei is a typical example of this mentality.

Originally, I heard that Daming had sent soldiers and horses to them, and he was immediately frightened.

I was worried that people would kill my tribe, but I heard that there weren't many people here, and my heart became more steady.

Thinking that he had seen through Mingren's plan, he began to think about how to use the current situation to maximize his benefits.

The more I thought about it, the more Shuo Lei felt that this matter was reliable.

And it's pretty reliable.

So he lay on the bed and tossed and turned, thinking about it back and forth, until the middle of the night, when he fell asleep in a daze.

Early the next morning, he excitedly summoned several important leaders under his command to discuss the matter.

"Great Khan, I disagree." As soon as his words fell, some people raised objections.

"Manduna! What is your opinion?" Shuo Lei's face pulled down.

Ben Khan thought about it for most of the night, and finally came up with a good idea, will you come up and give it to me?

If you don't say that you are ugly, see if Ben Khan cleans you up!

"Great Khan, although doing business with the Ming people can make a lot of profits in a short period of time, it is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. They use a small amount of profit to corrupt our herdsmen, so that they are indulged in pleasure and accustomed to relying on the Ming Dynasty to live.

In a few years, the herdsmen will get used to such a life, and then they will try to get rid of the entire Chechen Khanate!"

Mandu's voice was loud, expounding his own opinions.

But his words were quickly refuted by another person.

Uligi.

A tribal leader whose strength is not inferior to his.

"Manduna, what you said sounds very reasonable at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, is the fall of the sweat because of doing business with Daming or because Hudun Rabbit is self-righteous and self-serving, and Zhida is sparse?

Presumably everyone also knows that if it weren't for Hudun Rabbit going back on his word, tearing up the agreement with Daming, and ignoring Daming's face, would Daming brazenly send troops to attack?"

"But at that time, when Emperor Chongzhen treated Hudun Rabbit, he made a request to let him lead his troops to submit to the Ming Dynasty! Can you agree to such a condition casually? The ambition of the Ming Dynasty to annex Mongolia is clear! I think Hudun Rabbit did the right thing! Although the Khan was eliminated under his leadership, it was not his fault, but the ambitious Emperor Chongzhen!"

"You do have a sense in saying this, but let me ask you, when you are facing a powerful neighbor like Daming, have you ever thought about the consequences of tearing up the agreement between the two sides? Ever thought that such powerful neighbors would turn against them? If you know that there is such a possibility and act recklessly, then you are to blame!"

"Uliji, according to what you mean, we only need to be respectful to the Ming and look forward to the horse, so that we can avoid being swallowed up by them?" Mandu asked with a sneer, obviously dissatisfied with Uliji's humble and cowardly thoughts and deeds.

"Manduna, if you believe that the Ming will annex us, then I ask you the most important question! If, like annexing and sweating, they will directly march 100,000 troops to attack! How can we resist? Or how are you going to resist?"

"This..."

Uligi asked one of the most heart-wrenching questions, leaving Mandu speechless.

Yes, even if you try all kinds of methods and all kinds of schemes, in the face of absolute strength, there seems to be no way at all.

Mandu did not speak, and those who had the same attitude as him also put out the fire.

One of the most important problems is that you can't beat others.

If you have the strength to fight against the Ming Dynasty, even if you don't hand over Ezhe, what is there to fear?

"I know everyone thinks it's undignified to show favor to Da Ming. But there is also a saying that the situation is stronger than the person. Temporarily bow your head to show goodwill, you can let your subordinates

of herders are protected from scourge and can temporarily keep their territory. Isn't that more important than face?"

"I don't believe that the Akito is so invincible! They were frightened by Jiannu's killing, and it has only been a few years of hard work, so is it possible that everything has changed?" Manduna didn't speak, and another tribal leader spoke.

[In view of the general environment,

"Bagan, where is the terrified Jiannu of the Ming people you killed in the air?"

"This..."

Wu Liji's question was sharp and straight to the root, and the person who asked was speechless, and it seemed that there was a great tendency for Zhuge Liang to fight against Confucianism.

The scene fell silent for a while, and Shuo Lei smiled when he saw this.

"Let's just discuss it first, and what the details will be, it depends on what the Ming side wants. Ben Khan speculated that the purpose of their trip was most likely to ask for Guiyingcha and Ezhe. The first is that they have only dispatched 5,000 soldiers, and the second is that they have just annexed the Khan and need to recuperate, and it is unlikely that they will start a series of wars in a short time.

So, one of the first things to consider now is if they come over and ask for Gui Yingcha and Ezhe.

Shall we hand it over, or will we not pay it?"

After listening to Shuo Lei's words, everyone fell into deep thought again.

Thinking about the pros and cons of making friends and not making friends.

Jiao, that means a complete betrayal of the past, even the blood of the Great Khan who once followed cannot be preserved, there is no blood at all, and it will be shameful.

If they don't pay it, they will have to bear the anger of the Ming Dynasty, and even give the Ming an excuse to take the opportunity to send troops to Chechnya, and the consequences are not something they can bear.

Thinking about it, the balance in everyone's hearts is more or less tilted to one side.

Compared with the life and death of his own tribe, the blood of the old lord is a fart, and he is not a real relative.

Deliver!

Everyone present looked at each other and tacitly reached an agreement.

"Great Khan, Ezhe is the blood of Hudun Rabbit Khan, whether it is out of morality or everyone's will, it is necessary to keep him safe. But now the situation is grim, and the Ming Dynasty is eyeing the tiger, and his attitude towards the outside world is also unprecedentedly tough.

If the purpose of their coming here this time is really to ask us to hand over Ezhe, I'm afraid we really can't afford not to hand it over. It is a bit against morality to hand it over. But if you don't hand it over, I'm afraid you'll have to meet more troops from the Ming people!

I can put life and death aside, but we can't let thousands of herdsmen suffer like this, they are innocent! They shouldn't have broken their peaceful life and lost their precious lives for the sake of an ignorant and masked person!

So, my opinion is.

As long as the Ming people come to ask for someone, we will hand it over! What do you think?"

The first to speak was the eloquent Wu Liji, who stood at the height of the tribe and showed his attitude of looking at life and death and doing it if he was not satisfied, but he could not bear the suffering of the people under his command. Da Yi said the most cowardly words in the strongest tone.

Delivery.

Don't bother us.
