Chapter 250: Terms of Peace
Qiu Luan's reaction exceeded everyone's expectations, Xiao Qin was stunned, and before she could react, Altan Khan was already in a hurry.
"Your envoy walks slowly, if you have something to say!"
Hu Zongxian, who was following behind Qiu Luan, happened to pull Qiu Luan, who wanted to run wildly, which made Qiu Luan's escape look more like a sleeve after being provoked.
Altan Khan couldn't help but think in his heart: What Xiao Feng said is really true, among the Ming soldiers, there are really many warriors. This Qiu Luan is not as greedy for life and afraid of death as Xiao Qin said.
Between the sword mountains and sword forests, Chong Guan was angry, brushed his sleeves away, and people who were greedy for life and afraid of death could have such generosity and heroism?
Qiu Luan was stopped by Hu Zongxian, and walked into the main tent hard, still frightened, with a straight face and no expression, he found a place and sat down, calming his frightened mood.
Altan Khan was even more surprised, this man was really bold and careful, and as soon as he entered the house, he sat on the main seat, which is my place. As an envoy, go deep into the enemy camp, and oppose the guest, you have courage and knowledge!
Xiao Qin was also a little unsure for a while, is this still the Qiu Luan she thought she knew?
Hu Zongxian didn't give them more time to figure out and observe, and spoke coldly.
"I, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, came here to discuss peace, not only did you not treat each other politely, but also put on this scary appearance that you have never seen the world, which is really undignified.
If you are sincere, you can continue to negotiate, if you are not sincere, we will leave! ”
Xiao Qin said lightly: "I'm afraid that you can't leave if you want to." ”
Hu Zongxian laughed, Qiu Luan's courage was fake, but his courage was real, his laughter was wild, without any scruples, and he only laughed so that everyone in front of the tent did not change color.
"The three of us dare to enter the enemy camp, and we don't care if we can leave alive. If you want, just kill it, I'll walk slowly on Huangquan Road, and I guess you'll be there later!" ”
Qiu Luan's face was expressionless, and he was already panicked in his heart: Old Hu, why is your mouth so hard, I actually care about whether I can leave alive!
Xiao Qin said coldly: "Your life is on the verge of death, and you dare to be so arrogant." I will kill you with all your hands, but it will be difficult for you to kill me. We still have 15,000 cavalry, and if you want to break through, can you stop it? ”
Hu Zongxian's triangular eyes swept coldly towards Xiao Qin, and the two looked at each other, and neither of them could overwhelm anyone. Xiao Qin was shocked: this person is really a character.
"You still had 15,000 cavalry last night, and now you estimate that there are 14,000 left. My Ming cavalry fights with you day and night, never to the death, you know that you are suffering!
Let's not say that we can't stop you, let's just say that you break through, I'm afraid you won't have time to burn and loot. My Ming cavalry will always chase after you, if you dare to burn and kill, the formation will be chaotic, so we will take the opportunity to rush up and fight!
As a result, you will have to return to the grassland with less than half of the remnants of the army you came, and you will find nothing empty-handed!
At that time, I'm afraid that the sweat position of the Great Khan may not be stable! The Great Khan has been crisscrossing the grasslands all these years, and he doesn't want to end up. ”
Originally, this kind of tricky thing, Altan Khan had always been used to handing it over to Xiao Qin, but at this time he spoke, which made Xiao Qin's heart sink.
"Your envoy doesn't have to be alarmist, and you don't have to worry about the affairs of Ben Khan. There should be conditions for negotiation and peace, so let's say, what conditions do you have? ”
Hu Zongxian nodded: "Happy!" The Great Khan is really fast! Don't talk about the past, let's just say that this time, the Great Khan led the army to invade my Ming territory and killed my Ming people, and the Great Khan should apologize for this matter! ”
This condition is completely superficial, and there is no substantive gain or loss for both sides, but it is also the basis for all the conditions that follow.
If Altan Khan had not agreed to this condition at all, everything would have been impossible to talk about. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, people have not been downset, let alone an emperor like Jiajing?
Altan Khan also knew this, and as a villain in a remote corner, he was not embarrassed to do superficial work to the Ming Dynasty, so he nodded.
"Listen to the conditions later!"
Hu Zongxian's heart was relieved, and he thought that it would be difficult for Xiao Feng to anticipate every step so accurately this night. Even Qiu Luan, a man who is afraid of death, has actually turned decay into magic.
He didn't know that the reason why Xiao Feng let Qiu Luan come as the main envoy was because as the only two generals who defeated the Tatars, if Qiu Luan didn't come, Qi Jiguang would come.
Although Xiao Feng judged that Altan Khan would not turn his face, but what if? In case he turns his face, is it a dead Qi Jiguang or a dead enemy, does Xiao Feng still need to think about it?
As for Hu Zongxian, there is no way and it is irreplaceable. Unless Xiao Feng goes by himself, there will be no more suitable person than Hu Zongxian in the court.
"The Tatars attacked the Ming Dynasty, and the reasons for other nomads were no different, just because of the bitter cold outside the fortress and the shortage of materials.
The Jurchens outside Shanhaiguan are not as rich as Mongolia, but they can coexist peacefully with the Ming Dynasty, why?
It is because the Ming Dynasty regards the Jurchens as vassals, opens up the mutual market, and communicates with each other. The Tatars should also be courtiers and ask for mutual markets, which is the fundamental way to long-term peace and stability.
But how can it be taken by war, the lives are ruined, and the mountains and rivers are stained with blood? ”
Mutual Market !!
Altan Khan's eyes lit up, and his heart burst into ecstasy. He said in his heart that now you say it so nicely, didn't I ask for it back then?
How did you reply? The Ming Dynasty is not allowed to flow into the land of Mongolia! You are afraid of us, afraid that we will get the advanced things of the Ming Dynasty and attack the Ming Dynasty in turn!
But at this time, it seemed that there was no point in arguing about this, and Altan Khan had to hurry up and finalize the matter of this mutual market. In his opinion, Daming was compromised and was afraid of being beaten.
"It would be great if we could exchange markets. Ben Khan asked for it, why not?
Mongolia and Daming are adjacent to each other everywhere, so it is good to open three mutual markets to avoid long-distance raids and be convenient for each other! ”
He thought that since Hu Zongxian took the initiative to propose a mutual market, he must have agreed at this time, but he did not expect Hu Zongxian to give in.
"Open one place first, if the two sides can fair the market, you can consider opening more, otherwise this one will also be closed."
Xiao Qin interjected coldly: "You are not sincere, you have to figure it out, it is you who took the initiative to come to the peace talks!" ”
Hu Zongxian smiled coldly, coughed, and did not speak. When Qiu Luan heard the coughing sound, he immediately remembered the code he had set when he got up, and immediately stood up.
"Let's go, let's stop talking!"
Xiao Qin frowned, not knowing what to do with Qiu Luan, but Altan Khan was a little flustered.
The mutual market is indeed a great thing for the nomads, and he must not easily become yellow because of the moment.
"Your envoy, please stay, if you can open it later, it doesn't hurt to open one place first.
As for fair trade, this one will be natural. My Mongolian people are kind and simple......"
Hu Zongxian motioned for Qiu Luan to sit down with his colors, and then smiled slightly, interrupting Altan Khan's words.
"Of course, we believe that the Mongolian people are kind and simple, but since it is a business, there must be rules, and we can't rely on the character of both parties.
Daming will set up a commodity appraisal office in the mutual market, which will be jointly managed by both of us to evaluate the goods of both parties.
Banzai will send a messenger to monitor at any time to ensure fairness and justice. ”
Altan Khan frowned, he really wanted to sell some bad horses and old sheep to Da Ming in exchange for supplies, he didn't expect Da Ming to be so shrewd.
But then he was relieved, as long as the mutual market is opened, how the business is done depends on whose fists are harder. It's really not good, you can also use bribing officials to solve the problem!
Therefore, Altan Khan nodded: "But are there any other conditions?" In this expedition of Ben Khan's laborers, can the Ming Emperor reward some wealth as a sign of grace? ”
Altan Khan is a tyrant, he doesn't care about the nominal level, the focus is still on benefits. A tael of gold is called a reward or a reparation, it is all a tael of gold.
It won't be worth two taels because it's a reward, and it won't be worth half a tael because it's a compensation, so it's still necessary to let Jiajing go down the next level.
Unexpectedly, Hu Zongxian immediately shook his head: "If you want to be rewarded, there will be many opportunities in the future." The Ming Dynasty is rich all over the world, and a little reward is nothing. It's just that this time it doesn't work, the reason, the Khan also knows it in his heart! ”
Altan Khan also understood the meaning of these words, and he could give you some money, but not now.
As long as you are obedient, Da Ming has never been the master of picking and searching, and when the business is done well in the future, the emperor is happy, how much money can't be taken away?
Xiao Qin smiled: "If you don't give it, won't we rob it ourselves?" Don't rub it in, hand over the "Cangjie Heavenly Book" and the gunpowder formula, this time the monk can talk about it, if you don't agree, you don't need to talk about it! ”
Hu Zongxian coughed, and Qiu Luan immediately jumped up: "Let's go, don't talk about it!" ”
Altan Khan glanced at Xiao Qin helplessly: It's a good talk, what are you doing here? Don't you see that this Qiu Luan is a dumbfounder?
But he's the main envoy, he's leaving, and what the deputy envoy says doesn't count!
Hu Zongxian looked at Xiao Qin coldly, the anger in his eyes was enough to burn Xiao Qin to ashes, but Xiao Qin was still smiling, not affected at all.
"This is Mr. Xiao, the next condition is you. You have to go into the city and detoxify the poison on Xiao Gongzi's body!
This is the final condition of this peace negotiation! ”
Xiao Qin looked at Hu Zongxian with warm eyes like jade, with the most graceful smile on the corner of her mouth, but her words were as firm as iron.
"Xiao Feng's life, I want him to exchange the book of heaven and gunpowder, other than that, no conditions can save him!"
Some people died, but not completely......
