Chapter 409: My Champion Hou
When the strategy was decided, the top and bottom of the court thought about winning and fearing losing, but they never thought that Zhou Shangwen could bring back a tribal leader.
And it will be surrendered.
This matter is not so simple, back then, Duoyan Sanwei first returned to obedience and then rebelled, and the lesson was engraved in everyone's memory.
The good news was delivered to the palace, and the emperor discussed it with his courtiers for a long time, and they all knew that they could not be fully trusted, but the overall situation of the struggle between the left and right wings of Mongolia still had to be used.
It is precisely because the Tatars themselves cannot be united that there is a great meeting today, and the emperor understands the bottom line and conditions of the emperor.
And the conditions are also very simple,
"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Yong Xie Bu is a tribal gathering and living on the grassland, if I and the men and women of my tribe want to live, we need to constantly look for rich water and grassland, in addition, there must be cloth and salt. I don't dare to mention too many conditions, but I hope that His Majesty the Emperor will grant and guard our water meadows with Yongshebu! If His Majesty the Emperor is willing to show your tolerance, please allow us to exchange the best sheep and horses, and we will be willing to exchange the best sheep and horses for the best of them, if you need to show them cloth, salt, and cloth! ”
There are two meanings in Yibu's words, one is that he still wants to live on the grassland, and second, he hopes that Da Ming can protect them, at least when someone comes to fight, he can send troops.
Because he knew that if he killed the son of the little prince, people would come to him sooner or later!
But what's in it for Daming?
In exchange for Yong Xie Bu not going against Da Ming, that's all?
"Your Majesty!"
Lin Han, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, didn't seem to like this Tatar very much, he held his arm and glared at him, and said: "If the peace agreement is so, then my Ming Dynasty seems to be the defeated side!" Moreover, the Tatars, who do not know the royal way, do not understand the religion, go back on their word, the Ming Dynasty protected them and provided for them, who knows that they will not turn against each other in the future? ! After all, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different! ”
"Minister, second!" The mood of the official Shangshu Liang Chu was more calm, and he spoke softly, "The minister still wants to ask, and he will not guard together as the leader said, so if Da Ming is attacked by the little prince, what will Yong Xie Bu do?" ”
Zhu Houzhao smiled, he was also waiting for the old Mongolian man's answer.
"Since I am standing here today and taking refuge in Daming, I will naturally advance and retreat together!"
"How to guarantee?!"
"We prairie people are real men! If others are good to us, we will naturally be good to them! ”
"Then the little prince is also good to you?!" Liang Chu's voice was not loud, but the rhythm between the questions was tight, and he didn't fall at all, "Dayan Khan Batu Mengke, although it is difficult to compare with my emperor, but he is also ambitious, what if he feels that he can't win the Ming Dynasty on his own, and temporarily endures the pain of losing his son, it will also be good for you?" ”
"Your Majesty the Emperor!" is not a kind of old man, naturally he can't beat the courtiers who can speak well, so he can only ask Zhu Houzhao for help, "We grassland people, there are not so many bad ideas, I am willing to swear to Changshengtian!" ”
"I don't have to rush at this time." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, smiled and said, "What I heard me, the Ming Dynasty is to advance and retreat with Yong Xie Bu and resist the enemy together, whoever commits Yong Xie Bu is guilty of Da Ming, and whoever commits Da Ming is also guilty of Yong Xie Bu." ”
"Not bad!" The voice sounded without a strong voice.
"Then I want to borrow 3,000 soldiers and horses from Yongshebu!" Zhu Houzhao stretched out his hand, "In the grassland, the most difficult thing is to find enemies, and the Han people do not live on the grassland, and there is a lack of such people in the army of the Ming Dynasty, so I want to borrow people from you." Since we are advancing and retreating together, we should help each other, can you agree? ”
This is to have military power!
It is said to be borrowed, but there is no time limit, can it still be proposed to be repaid?
The three thousand cavalry is not big or small, and it is also a very powerful army, and if you really want to go back, it is betrayal written on your face.
Li Dongyang's light flashed, "Yes, since we advance and retreat together, then there is no distinction between you and me, and the soldiers of Yongxieb are naturally the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and vice versa." ”
Zhu Di also set up 3,000 battalions back then, and in this world, more ordinary people just want to live, so they don't care whether it's Ming or Tatar.
But Yong Xie Bu himself was a 10,000 household, and he had casualties in the battle with the Ming army, and then divided into 3,000, and his strength plummeted by half, and Yong Xie Bu suddenly became a small tribe.
And if this power is handed over, there will be no foundation for saving life in the future.
However, at this time, on this occasion, many of these Han ministers are questioning him, and if he refuses, the consequences can be imagined.
So this time it's better to borrow than to rob!
Zhu Houzhao is here for this point, what does it mean to "listen to my orders"?
If you can't transfer a little bit of your people, you don't have this power, and you still have to listen to my orders?
And by doing so, it is easiest to reach a consensus with your own courtiers, because the so-called borrowing ......
Its practical Han language is called 'cutting', not cutting the domain, but also like cutting the domain, the power is small, and it is easier to control.
Time passes little by little,
Yi Bu La's heart was quite tormented, and it was clear that the autumn weather was crisp, but there was sweat running down his back.
In the early years of Hongzhi, the grassland and the Ming Dynasty were still trading with each other, and the Ming at that time was not as aggressive as it is today.
“…… Yongsheb," he said, "and after a pause, he spoke,
Zhu Houzhao's eyes narrowed slightly, and in the blink of an eye, like a shutter, he recorded the figure of Yi Bu slowly bowing his head, and at the same time,
Zhou Shangwen was squinting at him,
The courtiers are also waiting for his response,
"I am willing to obey the will of the Ming Emperor!"
Winter!
The sound landed, and so did all the stones in my heart.
Zhu Houzhao smiled, "Zhou Yanzhang! ”
"Wechen is here!"
"In your recital, it is said that there is a young general Ma Rong in the army, who has made great achievements and can be the champion of me! And his people can speak in Mongolian, these 3,000 people, handed over to him to lead, and this expedition, he has made great contributions, and I am willing, and then promoted him to the commander, commanding 8,000 athletes. Hopefully, I can really become the champion of me! ”
"Yes! Wechen takes the order! ”
"No, I am not an arrogant and unreasonable person, the Ming Dynasty is big, and the Yong Xie Bu is small, but the Ming Dynasty will not oppress you, the grass, cloth, and salt you mentioned...... I'm willing to give! ”
He also said simply, "The Yongxieb tribe still wants to kiss His Majesty the Ming Emperor!" ”
"Of course, the closer the better, the closer the better!"
……
……
He also had four daughters, of which the eldest daughter was married, the second daughter was a few years older than Emperor Zhengde, and among the third and fourth daughters, the fourth daughter was more like her mother.
And when the leader of a tribe is looking for a woman, he naturally chooses a beautiful one.
The fourth daughter is only thirteen years old, not yet fully grown, but she already has the appearance of a beauty, she is lively and gorgeous, different from the appearance of the Han people, her facial features are large, her eyes are curved and the bridge of the nose is long, her forehead is wide and white, and her mouth is not the kind of cherry mouth, but a thin touch, and you can see a row of shell teeth when you laugh.
This tribal change changed her a lot, and the child seemed to grow up overnight.
She followed the army of the Ming Dynasty into Datong first, and then rushed to Beijing with her third sister because of her special mission.
As a grassland person, I am used to seeing an endless and empty scene, and I was really surprised to suddenly see the crowded Jingshi.
It's a pity that the army responsible for guarding them doesn't allow them to come and go at will, so they can only climb by the window to enjoy the exotic atmosphere.
Their father's plan was made clear.
If she is more or less aware of her future fate, she may have to stay in this city for the rest of her life.
So I also had all kinds of feelings in my heart, "I don't know what happened to my father." ”
"It's going to be fine. You should have heard what the Ming general Ma Rong said to his father, the Ming State wanted to start a war with the Left Great Khan, and I heard that His Majesty the Ming Emperor was a sensible person, and he would definitely want to use the power of Yong Xie Bu, so my father and we will be fine. Just ......"
The third sister, Tana, hugged her younger sister, they grew up together since childhood, and their feelings were very deep, and the most important thing was that they were only thirteen years old.
"It's just that your father may have left you in the Ming Kingdom from now on. It's a pity that the third sister didn't give birth to a good-looking appearance, so you can only bear the fate of the tribe. ”
Ruqige shook his head, "Third sister, although I am young, I understand everything. We don't always hate that we are not men, that we can't help our tribe and our fathers, and that we are constantly sad about it. Isn't it just right now?
We grassland women don't twist and pinch like those Han women, everyone has their own life, whether their life is good or bad, we can only accept it, and it is pointless to cry and cry. I am the daughter of the tribal chief, the daughter of the steppe, and this is my life! ”
Tana looked squarely at her sister, her eyes clear and bright, as if she had been born with some kind of intelligence.
"Do you know what it means to get married?"
"Of course I do. I am thirteen years old, and according to the rules of their Han people, I will enter that palace city, and from now on I will become the imperial concubine of the Han Emperor, give birth to an heir for the Ming Emperor, and I will not be able to remarry for the rest of my life. ”
"At that point, it will be difficult for us to see each other."
"It's also difficult, didn't the third sister also want to marry into other tribes?"
"yes. It's better to be brothers, you don't have to leave Yongshebu in this life. ”
When they were chatting, something had quietly changed outside. The courtiers went down to court, and they also returned under escort.
When the two sisters saw their father, they rushed to the door and waited.
Nor will he return safely, which is first and foremost good news.
And if the talks go well, then that is......
As her expression was calm, her heart was ready for what was to come.
"Father's ......"
"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is choosing a concubine and choosing a date to get married."
The figure swept past them and into the house, and voices drifted out of it.
"You'll be one of them, too."
