Chapter 130: Cypriot Foreign Envoys
A seik-eyed merchant hid in the crowd, standing in the bustling crowd, looking at King He Xiyan and his party through countless soldiers.
This Semu man is the envoy of the Yuan court.
After all, King Yan and his party were there, and almost the entire Changchun guard was pulled out to be on guard. Ordinary people can only watch from a distance, and they can't get close at all.
Semu merchants were very powerful in the Yuan Dynasty, and Ahmad and other powerful ministers were all born in Semu. This may be because the Yuan Dynasty conquered Central Asia first, and the Semu merchants were valued in the center of the Yuan Dynasty, or in the locality, forming a large group.
With the Yuan Dynasty, there is a loss, and a glory.
After the Yuan Dynasty withdrew from the Central Plains, the power of the Semu merchants had disappeared. And Zhu Yuanzhang is even more of a crackdown on the businessmen. Intermarriage within the Semu merchant clan was not allowed, etc., not only the Semu merchants, but also the Semu people were integrated into China and ceased to exist.
But Mongolia, the Semu people still exist. Although it is no longer a force.
Even at this time, the Yuan court trusted the people of color more.
Not because of anything else, but because the Han people have already turned away from the Yuan court. After all, the situation is already clear today. Although there are some Han people, especially the kind of Han people who have served the Yuan court all their lives, they are already in their last years, so they will naturally not change their courts. But there are very few young Han people who can use it. There are even fewer Han people who can win the trust of the Yuan court.
It can be said that this is also the process of the Yuan court re-evolving from a central dynasty to a nomadic dynasty.
The envoy of the Yuan Court secretly said in his heart: "Today may be an opportunity. ”
He understands the prime minister's explanation very well, it is necessary to negotiate secretly, and if it can be reached, it is naturally the best, and if it cannot be reached, it will affect the situation of the war. Such an ideal situation is unlikely. But don't make it too big.
If he finds the people below to report it layer by layer, it is unlikely that there will be any secrecy. It's much better to be able to go directly to the core people.
Now is the best opportunity. Direct contact with the Yan King.
------
In the lobby of Changchun Wei.
King Yan slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "So, the Tartar has already moved. ”
Ping'an said: "Exactly, with the intelligence of his subordinates, the Tartars recruited a large army, claiming to have 300,000 people, and several cavalry, penetrating deep into the south of Changchun Fort. Since this month, 35 people have been killed in the battle at Changchunbao. Thirteen people are missing. One hundred and three levels of decapitation. This number is far higher than in previous years. ”
King Yan fell into deep thought.
He Xi said: "King Yan, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it. It's better to be serious. ”
King Yan said: "How to do it. ”
He Xi said: "With the foundation of the Tartars, don't say that 300,000 people will be conscripted. Even if 100,000 people are conscripted, it will not be possible to support it for a long time. Avoid its edge and hit its fall. ”
King Yan didn't speak, and there was a slight change in the peaceful eyes on one side.
He Xi understood that his plan was not even visible to peace.
None of them. He Xi is not a battlefield commander in essence. He only has a grasp of the ever-changing war. This grasp is to throw money and hurt people with this. He Xi's military talent is similar to that of the U.S. military during World War II.
Spend money and materials hard, and use a more stable strategy as much as possible.
Generally speaking, only those who do not meet opponents who are richer than He Xi. He Xi is invincible. Is there a larger, richer country that is now known by the Ming Dynasty? Naturally, there is none. Therefore, He Xi's style of play generally has no opponents.
It's just a bit more expensive.
For He Xi, that's not a thing.
He Xi has seen a big scene. The kind of battle mode that smashes tens of billions of dollars in one day, He Xi has seen it. Now the Ming army is in the war, and most of the losses are hundreds of thousands of taels, millions of taels, which is nothing at all. After all, this represents goods denominated in silver taels. It's not the silver tael itself.
He Xi has a lot of money in his hands. But there is no shortage of supplies. There is no shortage of military supplies.
He Xi's style of play cannot be wrong.
But now the Ming Dynasty is at its peak, and most of the generals want to take fame immediately. Want to fight, win the war. Seal the wife and the shadow. For the Mongols, he was always worried that the Mongols would flee, and he was never afraid that the Mongols would raise troops to fight.
How can you look at He Xi's conservative approach.
Sure enough, King Yan smiled and said, "Brother He, your method is good." It's just that the Celestial Empire is powerful. Relying on the spear in his hand, he stepped off the war horse. A strong bow and a hard crossbow, not a guard. If the Tartars don't come, they will fight. I'm worried that I don't have military merit. Brother He has one thing to ask you. Please help me out. Hurry up and bring my Yanwang Sanwei over. ”
He Xi said: "There is no problem with this. He Xi then wrote a warrant. Hand it to the people around you. King Yan also wrote a warrant and sent someone back as well.
King Yan said secretly: "Just wait for King Yan Sanwei to arrive." Coupled with Changchun Wei, the four men and horses, it was the time of the war. ”
The movement of other armies was somewhat slow.
The army of Liaodong was to serve as a reserve for the Japanese campaign. Therefore, this expedition did not mean to be drawn from Liaodong, but from the Beiping Division. This is naturally not as good as the Yanwang Sanwei people, and it is easy to mobilize. So there are still several guards, and I'm afraid that the assembly has not yet been completed at this moment.
I want to speed up, but I don't know where to start.
However, King Yan hurriedly looked at Chang Changwei, as Feng Sheng's heart. The strength of Changchun Wei is no longer under the three guards of Shenyang. And the three guards of King Yan are the elite of King Yan's personal soldiers. It is even more of a soldier's food. Will be star-studded. A considerable number of the heroes of the martyrdom in later generations are among these three guards.
There are more than 20,000 people in the four guards, and in the eyes of King Yan, it is enough for him to wrestle with the Mongols who are in their last years.
"Report." Suddenly, someone below reported: "Someone outside asks to see him, saying that he is a Tartar envoy." ”
King Yan and He Xi glanced at each other. They all saw the surprise in each other's eyes. None of them expected that at this time, there would be this episode.
Even if the Mongols retreated to the steppe. The Ming Dynasty was not at all in contact with the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang asked King Qin to marry Wang Baobao's sister, which is the prototype of Zhao Min in the Heaven and Dragon Slayer, what is the intention, naturally there is no need to say more.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang sent envoys to the steppe every year to recruit the Mongols.
But when the Yuan court was just beginning, it also sent envoys. But later, he refused to communicate with Daming.
I probably feel that both sides have nothing to say.
That's right. Zhu Yuanzhang may not want the lives of the Yuan court. But the Yuan court went to the emperor. Surrender to the Ming Dynasty, that is inevitable. But the Yuan court, whether it is to follow the original tradition. Or something else. Anyway, there are quite a few people who support surrender.
The two sides could not negotiate the price. It's better not to see each other than to see each other.
In the past few years, the Yuan and Ming dynasties have made great moves, so that there are fewer exchanges between ministers. Now the war is imminent. The Yuan court suddenly sent envoys. Perhaps good news.
This good news is for the relationship between Yuan and Ming. After all, many scholars and doctors support the fight against the remnants, not because they love to fight. Rather, it was to erect the orthodox dynasty of the Ming Dynasty. This battle must be fought. And the Yuan Dynasty surrendered, willing to go to the emperor. At that time, it was dawning.
If the Yuan Dynasty is willing to concede on this.
Negotiations are not necessarily impossible.
But for King Yan, this is not good news.
King Yan is ambitious to build a big empire of his own. How is it possible to give up. Although King Yan also knew that what he was thinking of was only one possibility. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang may not agree to the Yuan Dynasty. But when he thought of this possibility, this kind of accident, King Yan had a killing intent in his heart, and wanted this envoy to do it unknowingly.
He Xi said: "No matter what. It's always a matter of seeing. ”
King Yan heard He Xi say this. I also know that this is the right principle. Although it is said that the two countries are not at war with each other, in many cases it is just empty talk. But the ministers have no diplomatic power. Regarding diplomatic matters, even King Yan has no right to decide.
There is actually a limit to what they can do.
Killing, but making, and other operations are not within the scope of the responsibility of the two people.
Even if it is to show the demeanor of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for an envoy to come to the door. But he didn't care about it. That's rude.
King Yan said, "Okay. Pass him up. ”
