When the sun is shining in the capital, the sky in Datong is full of dark clouds.

The day of negotiation between the two sides has arrived, and the two sides face off at a grassland outside the Great Wall. In front are 1,000 iron cavalry on each side, and in the rear are their respective armies, which look like they are tense.

The summer wind is just blowing, and the pennant is hunting.

Chen Jian, the deputy commander of Datong, had sharp eyes, and personally led the strongest iron cavalry of Datong to come, looking at the Mongolian cavalry in front of him with a deep hatred of blood.

Although the Mongol cavalry was a warrior who grew up on horseback, the Datong Iron Cavalry was a natural soldier, and now it is equipped with the most sophisticated weapons.

With the successful restoration of Kaizhongfa, now the grain in the border warehouse is abundant, and the weapons and horses provided by the imperial court are of the first class, which provides confidence for all Datong soldiers.

With such a wise emperor, they felt that their rear was incomparably powerful, and naturally they would not be afraid of the Mongolian army in front of them.

Woowoo......

Knock knock knock......

As the two formations signaled, there was movement in the formations of both sides, and the two squads left the formation almost at the same time.

Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Chen Kun, the governor of Xuanda, headed towards the small hill to the east, where there was an ancient pine tree, which was originally used for shade, but today it is useless.

Just when you come to this small hill, you can see the endless prairie in the north, and you can also see the Great Wall of China in the mountains.

Sigh!

The Mongol squad arrived late, led by Manduhai and Dayan Khan, who rode together.

Although the history books seem to deliberately downplay Manduhai, Manduhai is indeed a strange woman on the grassland.

Although she was a daughter, after receiving the inheritance of Mantulu, she also quietly promoted the unification of Mongolia.

Over the years, he has also experienced a hundred battles, but he has expanded the inheritance left by Mandulu nearly tenfold, and even killed Yisima Yin Taishi to become the strongest force on the grassland.

"The envoy has seen Mandu Haihatun!" Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, exchanged glances with Chen Kun, the governor of Xuanda, and immediately stepped forward to salute respectfully.

Manduhai's height was more than half a head taller than Dayan Khan, and he took the lead in turning over from the horse's back, but he didn't give a good face when he saw Xu Qiong and Chen Kun.

She had already intended to retreat into the background, and Dayan Khan led his army to fight everywhere, and when Dayan Khan had accumulated enough military merit and prestige, she would hand over power to him.

It's just that this time there was a big mistake in the Tonggong market led by Dayan Khan, not only did the embassy led by Zhiyuan Tongha lose most of it, but also his baby daughter fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Mandu Hai was concerned about his daughter's life, and this time he almost came out of the nest, but the Ming court always delayed for various reasons, and now he finally started to negotiate.

"This is the little prince of Batu Mengke, right?" Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, did not have a shelf at all, and asked with a smile to Dayan Khan below.

Although Dayan Khan "personally" led the army to invade Datong four years ago, he was still a fourteen-year-old boy after all, still with a childish face, and he didn't even grow well, only one and a half meters tall.

Thanks to Manduhai's careful cultivation, coupled with the fact that he was charged by Manduhai since he was a child, he does have a maturity on his face that does not match that of a fourteen-year-old boy.

Dayan Khan's Chinese is not very good, but he understands the meaning of "little prince", and he suddenly felt a kind of unhappiness in his heart, so he glared at Xu Qiong angrily.

"Lord Xu, this title is inappropriate, our Da Ming didn't canonize his father as king!" Chen Shen put away his usual smiling face, but corrected with a straight face.

The so-called "little prince" is actually an unofficial title.

It's just that now the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia has deteriorated, and even though Dayan Khan is the blood of Genghis Khan's golden family, the Ming court has not officially recognized his identity.

Dayan Khan obviously felt that this fat man despised him, and even pulled out his dagger and pointed it at Chen Kun and threatened: "I don't need your Ming canonization, my father is...... No, I am the king, no, no, I am the Great Khan of the Great Yuan! ”

"Mandu Haihatun, didn't you say that the negotiators don't carry weapons? Just now we met and showed the knife, let's not talk about it? Chen Kun raised his hand, but looked at Manduhai and asked.

Manduhai still wanted to judge well, and ordered with dissatisfaction: "Batu Munch, give me the knife!" ”

Dayan Khan did not dare to disobey Manduhai's will, so he had to hand over his precious knife to Manduhai, but when he saw Manduhai take the knife and throw it into the bushes below, he couldn't help but feel a slight pain in his heart.

At this moment, he hated this fat Ming official.

Xu Qiong and Chen Kun silently exchanged glances, but they knew that this was a woman with courage in front of them.

Manduhai is a practical person, and even if he gets straight to the point, he said: "I will state the conditions of our Dayuan again!" One is to put Ikxi back, and the other is to return 10,000 horses and mules! ”

Chen Jian, the deputy chief soldier of Datong who accompanied him, couldn't help but be angry when he heard that Manduhai was still these two unreasonable conditions, but he said angrily: "If you want to count it like this, how should you count the property you have robbed of our Datong border people all these years?" ”

Cough!

Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, coughed, glared at Chen Jian with dissatisfaction: "The envoy has this, but you have the right to speak, close your mouth!" ”

"Lord Xu, what Mr. Chen said is not unreasonable! If you really want to calculate, then you really have to calculate it, and you can't say what they say! Chen Kun was defending Chen Jian, but he was obviously hostile.

"Governor Chen, Your Majesty sent this official to negotiate, and this official has his own measure!" Xu Qiong reprimanded again, and then smiled as if his face had changed: "Mandu Haihatun, I won't tell you, this envoy was ordered to come here to find out one thing, I don't know if your Northern Yuan will fight or make peace with Daming in the future?" ”

Dayan Khan has realized the importance of the Tonggong market, and immediately said as a matter of course: "You will exchange the market with me in the future, and this Khan can ensure the peace of your Datong border!" ”

"I have more than 100,000 elite soldiers in Datong Xuanfu, and I want you to protect the peace of my Datong border, aren't you joking?" Chen Kun snorted coldly, but his fighting spirit was high.

Dayan Khan felt that he had been disgraced, so he threatened: "Believe it or not, I will lead my troops into Datong now, and Ben Khan will see what you do to protect the peace of the Datong border!" ”

"Okay, a word is a certainty, and this governor will accompany you to the end! Lord Xu, you heard, this is their Northern Yuan battle, you can go back and report to Your Majesty! Chen Kun readily agreed, and then looked at Xu Qiongdao.

"Governor Chen, don't be afraid that the world will not be chaotic!" Xu Qiong reprimanded, and then said with a smile to Mandu Hai: "Mandu Haihatun, Tonggong mutual market can be discussed, but if you are such a threat, I am afraid that the envoy will not be able to do anything!" ”

"Batu Mengke, I'll discuss this matter!" Manduhai admonished Dayan Khan, and then looked at Xu Qiong and said: "Lord Envoy, our Great Yuan wants to seek peace, and we also want to pay tribute to each other, I don't know what your Majesty means?" ”

"Our Majesty's meaning has been made very clear in the text, and Emperor Dayuan will not be allowed to exist! Since ancient times, the Chinese emperor has ruled the world, and the little prince cannot be called the emperor! Xu Qiong looked at Mandu Hai, and her eyes were full of sincerity.

Although there is a bit of acting this time, when I think of the passionate essay and the now thriving Daming, I can't help but take a clear and authentic position.

Although this time it was for the purpose of negotiating peace, the emperor also told him before leaving, and the Ming Dynasty was also not afraid of war, and could also solve the Mongolian problem by force.

Dayan Khan has always been proud of his bloodline, but he does not intend to give in and said: "This Khan is the queen of the golden family, why can't he be the Great Yuan Great Khan!" ”

"It's enough to have one of our majesty in this world, you dare to call yourself!" Chen Kun responded as a matter of course, and then made a motion to wipe his neck.

Dayan Khan, after all, was a fourteen-year-old boy, and as he spoke, he reached out and drew his knife to cut someone, only to find that his knife had been thrown away by Manduhai.

"Mandu Haihatun, the reason why there is such a disturbance this time is actually that you are mainly responsible! If you come according to the earlier rules, the Ming Dynasty will not allow you to pay tribute, but you claim that the Emperor of the Great Yuan has touched the bottom line of our Ming Dynasty! If you insist on doing so, I am afraid that this negotiation will not be able to continue! Xu Qiong immediately took advantage of the topic and looked at Manduhai to make a stand.

Manduhai knew that this matter was indeed Dayan Khan's proposal to listen to the barrel ha, and it was indeed against the bottom line of the Ming Dynasty to claim that he was the emperor of the Great Yuan.

If the Ming Dynasty was dominated by the Lord and the faction, they could blink and turn a blind eye to this self-proclaimed faction, but now the Ming Dynasty is probably dominated by the combat faction.

Although their invasion of the Ming Dynasty will cause disaster to the Great Ming Dynasty, the foundation of the Northern Yuan Dynasty itself is not stable enough, and now it is almost impossible to unify Mongolia while fighting against the Ming Dynasty.

Even if she has the banner of Genghis Khan's Golden Family, if she is not strong enough, those jackals will definitely take the opportunity to grab the territory.

In fact, now they Beiyuan need to beg for a tribute exchange with Daming, only in this way can they exchange enough materials, and Daming is indeed not afraid of war.

Even the people who were negotiating in front of him, the new governor of Xuanda, was obviously a main battle faction, but he wished that their negotiations would break down this time and go to war.

After some weighing, Manduhai decided to make concessions: "Our Dayuan can make concessions, and we will no longer call ourselves Emperor Dayuan, let's pay tribute to each other now!" ”

"We can crown Batu Mengke as the king of Beishun, and crown you as the princess of Beishun, and we will also open a horse market in the same year!" Xu Qiong's heart was secretly happy, and even threw out the plan.

Manduhai found that Ming Ting was more enlightened than he wanted, and this plan was better than he expected, but he said with some skepticism: "Can you call the shots about the opening of the market?" Also, when are you going to put Ixy back? ”

"Originally, our court was planning to start a war with your Northern Yuan, but His Majesty learned that Princess Yikexi was peerless, and after seeing Yikexi's portrait, he decided to crown Yikexi as a concubine, so he decided not to blame your previous mistakes, and is willing to marry for eternity!" Xu Qiong immediately said with a smile.

The smile on Manduhai's face was gone, and he looked at the little old man in front of him in disbelief.

Dayan Khan was thinking about how to kill the dead fat man in front of him, and when he heard this, he glared at him in shock and said, "Your emperor wants to marry Yikexi?" ”

"To be precise, I want Naykxi to be a concubine!" The smile on Xu Qiong's face did not decrease, and she corrected the authenticity.

Dayan Khan had already regarded Ikxi as a relative, and even threatened: "Your emperor must be crazy, we can't agree to return Ikxi immediately, otherwise we will go to war!" ”

"Mandu Haihatun, our majesty is full of sincerity! If it weren't for His Majesty's love at first sight when he saw Yi Kexi's face, I am afraid that there would be no room for maneuver this time, and our Ming Dynasty would have actually consolidated the side warehouse to prepare for a big war. Nowadays, this harmony is actually good for everyone! Xu Qiong knew that she had to give the other party time to digest, and she seemed to be bitter.

Man Duhai looked deeply at the two officials in front of him, and finally realized that this negotiation was actually a small conspiracy that was carefully arranged.

They first deliberately negotiated the closure of Tonggong City, and then talked about accepting their daughter as a concubine, allowing themselves to invisibly fall into the choice question they set.

It's just that there are really not many choices for her now, Daming is no longer a weak Daming after all, and Mongolia needs the support of Daming if it wants to unify.

It is true that Manduhai loves his daughter, but he also knows that he is shouldering the mission of unifying Mongolia, but he seriously asks: "What is the character of your emperor?" ”

"As a courtier, how dare you talk about the Son of Heaven! It's just that you should be able to feel that we have made a big difference! Xu Qiong nodded.

"If you really want to fight now, this governor can guarantee that you don't want to unify Mongolia, the bloodline of Genghis Khan's golden family is really extinct!" Chen Kun said very tuggingly.

Dayan Khan glared angrily at the fat man again, and wanted to kill him.

"Mandu Haihatun, if you are embarrassed, you can go back and think about it!" Xu Qiong couldn't be in a hurry, so she was ready to end talking about the tunnel.

"Whether it is war or peace, we will accompany us to the end!" Chen Kun met Dayan Khan's hostile gaze and said fearlessly.

Although he teamed up with Xu Qiong to sing a double reed, Daming's current strength gave him enough confidence, so he didn't worry about Manduhai choosing to go to war at all.

Manduhai watched Xu Qiong and the others leave, and rode back to the sweat tent with Dayan Khan.

Although she really wanted to save her daughter, the current situation was really unfavorable, after all, the Ming side was determined not to be threatened by the 30,000 army led by her.

However, the Ming did not plan to kill his daughter, but the bloody Ming Emperor wanted to accept his daughter as a concubine.

It is precisely because of this, although she came to bring her daughter back at the expense of bloodbathing Datong, but now she feels hesitant.

While peace was still being negotiated here, a convoy from Xuanfu drove into Beijing.
