Tumaihan originally thought that he would be subjected to inhuman torture, and even lose his life!

But the events turned out to be so much that the guards who had come to meet him disappeared after taking him to a private cell in the Imperial Prison, and no one was sent to ask for any information about the Tartars.

At first, Tumaihan didn't pay much attention to the measures taken by these Mingmen, and in his opinion, this was a sign of the cowardice of those Mingmen, but as time passed, only three days later, Tumaihan completely forgot about his previous childish thoughts.

Being able to move around in this small, dark room every day made Tumaihan feel restless, and even in his dreams, he dreamed of riding a horse on a horse.

But no matter how beautiful the dream was, how cruel the reality was, and when Tumaihan woke up to find himself still in this small room, he felt quite depressed.

If the cramped room just makes Tumaihan feel irritable, and not being able to communicate with others, it is the most deadly!

In the edict prison, there will be a gray-haired old man who is responsible for delivering food every day, he comes once in the morning and once in the evening, and at the beginning, Tumaihan is still quite dignified, unwilling to eat the food of the Ming people, and even knocks all the food in front of him to the ground, in order to show his determination.

But he soon found that the old man did not care about his actions, but mechanically put away the food box, and then got up and left tremblingly, no matter how much he shouted and insulted, it was to no avail.

After a few hungry meals, Tumaihan finally decided to temporarily lower his noble head and eat the food sent by the Ming people, which did not mean that he gave in to the Ming people, everything was just an expedient measure!

"Even the heroes who once unified the grassland, when they gave away their BMW and beloved wife, what is the point of their own suffering, Tumaihan, you are the Great Khan of Tatars, you can survive it!"

Tumaihan comforted himself in this way, and then, after crossing the threshold in his heart, Tumaihan enjoyed the food sent by the Ming people with more peace of mind.

"Anyway, it's the food sent by the enemy, don't eat it for nothing!"

As time passed, Tumaihan became tired of everything in front of him, and what he wanted to do most was to find someone and talk to him for a few words, and eventually, Tumaihan set his sights on the old man who came to bring him food every day.

After that, what Tumaihan looked forward to the most was when the old man came to bring food to him every day, and sometimes, he would even lie down at the door of the cell, staring at the corridor with a pair of eyes, until he saw the old man's figure appear, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

When the old man took out the food from the food box, Tumaihan seized the opportunity and tried his best to brag to the old man about how high his status in the tribe was, and the power of life and death of the entire tribe was in his hands.

But seeing that the old man did not respond, Tumaihan was immediately deflated, and then, the old man seemed to see what Tumaihan was thinking, and immediately pointed to his ears and mouth with his hands, and shook his head.

Tumai rarely saw this, and instantly understood that this old man was not only deaf, but also mute!

After this, Tumaihan's expectations were shattered, and his desire to talk to people almost drove him crazy.

In this way, Tumaihan gradually became nervous, and the whole person squatted in the corner with his hair disheveled and talked to himself.

Even Tumaihan once wanted to end this pain by committing suicide, but before he could put it into practice, he was discovered and stopped in advance by the Jinyi guard hiding in the shadows.

In the midst of the chaos, Tumaihan even lost the concept of time for a while, and for him, day and night had no meaning, so his routine became extremely disordered, and his physical condition deteriorated.

Today is the ninth day of Tumaihan's imprisonment!

At this moment, Tumaihan was huddled in the corner, muttering some incomprehensible words in his mouth.

Seeing that it was time to deliver the meal, but the old man was not seen for a long time, Tumaihan judged with what little reason he had left that the attitude of those wise people towards him would change.

Sure enough, not long after, I saw several brocade guards show their figures, come to the room where Tumaihan was being held, open the prison door, and escort him out of the dark and sunless prison!

When Tumaihan stood in the sun again, because he was in a dark and damp prison with no sunlight before, he couldn't adapt to this light for a while, and hurriedly blocked the sunlight with his hands, and it took a long time before he readjusted.

The moment he saw the sun again, Tumaihan's whole spirit also visibly improved, and then, I saw him speak a half-baked Daming official dialect and ask the Jinyi guard who was in charge of escorting him.

"Where are you taking me?"

The brocade guard just glanced at Tumaihan coldly, and after a long time, two words came out of his mouth: "Cabinet!" ”

……

At this time, in the cabinet, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and Yan Shifan were already sitting in danger, quietly waiting for Tumaihan's arrival, but Yan Song closed his eyes, looking like he was sleeping.

In front of several people, there was also a temporary table, on which there was an agreement that had been drawn up a long time ago, and the content on it was the compensation plan for the Tatar to the Ming Dynasty that had been negotiated by several people in recent days.

After a while, only outside the cabinet, there was a noisy footsteps, Yan Shifan saw this situation, and immediately gently pushed Yan Song on the side with his hand, and reminded him.

"Father, the man has arrived!"

Yan Song slowly opened his eyes and subconsciously responded.

"Uh, okay."

Soon after Yan Song came to his senses, Tumaihan was escorted to the cabinet by the heavily armed Jinyi guards.

Tumai rarely saw this situation, and the vigilance in his heart was suddenly pulled to the highest, for him, those Jinyi guards who were armed to the teeth were not terrible, but what was really terrible was the few officials in front of him who were wearing Ming official uniforms and couldn't see the depth.

"Who are you and what do you want to do?"

Tumaihan forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and immediately asked a few people in the half-baked official language of the Ming Dynasty.

"Well, that's right, this Tatar Khan will also speak my Ming official language, it seems that I can save some trouble!"

Seeing this, Xu Jie nodded imperceptibly and said to Yan Song on the side.

Soon after Tumaihan's words fell, I saw Yan Song have a slight smile on his face, and introduced himself to Tumaihan.

"The old man is Yan Song, the first assistant of the Ming Cabinet, today I am on the order of His Majesty the Supreme Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and I have come to discuss with you the compensation of the Tatars to my Ming Dynasty!"

After listening to Yan Song's words, Tumaihan sneered, and immediately refused: "Hmph, compensation, this is absolutely impossible!" ”

"Wolves are born to hunt sheep, have you ever heard that there are wolves that make compensation to sheep?"

When Yan Song heard this, the smile on his face was even worse, and he immediately spoke unhurriedly.

"How, then, did your wolf fall into the hands of the Lamb?"

Tumaihan heard the mockery contained in Yan Song's words, and then unconsciously appeared in his mind the scene on the battlefield at that time.

"No, because you set a trap in advance, and because there are traitors inside and outside, you can defeat Ben Khan like this, otherwise, you will have absolutely no chance of winning!"

When Tumaihan said this, the anger in his heart was even worse, and he immediately gritted his teeth and said.

"If we have the ability, let's have a fair face-to-face showdown, and no one on either side is allowed to play tricks again!"

When Tumaihan's words fell, the five people on the other side smiled from ear to ear as if they had heard some of the funniest jokes in the world, and after glancing at each other.

In the end, Yan Song barely stopped laughing and explained unhurriedly.

"In my Ming Dynasty, there is a saying that is called to attack the shortcomings of the other with your own strengths!"

"Since we're not your opponent head-to-head, why can't we use some strategies?"

"Sometimes traps are used, which is also a manifestation of ability, otherwise, how could you, the Great Khan of Tatars, become a prisoner of my Ming Dynasty?"

When Tumaihan heard this, he was immediately angry, and subconsciously wanted to refute it, but after thinking about it, it seemed to be this truth.

In order to prevent Yan Song from continuing to expose his scars, Tumaihan simply shut his mouth and said nothing, posing as if he refused to communicate.

Seeing this, Xu Jie, who was on the side, raised his eyebrows, and immediately spoke.

"In that case, you might as well take a look at this and make a decision!"

Xu Jie's voice fell, and soon Jinyiwei stepped forward and brought the compensation plan that had already been drawn up to Tumaihan.

Tumai snorted coldly, then stretched out his shackled hands and took them from Jinyiwei's hands.

When he opened the compensation plan, the pupils of his eyes suddenly contracted, and he saw the first one written: "Tatar needs to compensate Daming for 100,000 cattle and sheep, as well as 10,000 horses with pure blood and excellent breeds. ”

Tumaihan was in no mood to continue reading the remaining clauses, only to see him throw the compensation plan back to its original position, and then said in a deep voice.

"You Ming people, what kind of person do you think of me as Tumaihan, although I am now your prisoner, but I am also the Great Khan of Tatar, as the Great Khan, I should have the responsibility and responsibility of the Great Khan!"

"If I sign this today, how will I gain a foothold in the tribe in the future, and how should those people in the tribe view me, the Great Khan?"

When Tumaihan said this, perhaps because he was so angry, that his breath became short: "What do you think of me as a Tatar, if we can get so many cattle and sheep, why do we need to plunder from you?" ”

When Yan Song heard this, his face did not show any annoyance, he withdrew his gaze from Tumaihan's body, and explained unhurriedly.

"It's not for you to take out 100,000 cattle and sheep at one time, so let's do it, you can pay it off in ten years, as interest, you need to compensate me Daming every year for 15,000 cattle and sheep, and 1,200 war horses, how about it?"

After listening to Yan Song's words, Tumaihan shook his head like a rattle and refused categorically.

"Die, you will never get the slightest benefit from me!"

When Yan Song heard this, his face showed a look of regret at the right time, and he immediately spoke.

"In this case, then we can only go to the new Great Khan of your Chahar Department to discuss this matter."

"Take him down and keep him under strict guard!"

As soon as Yan Song's words fell, the Jinyi guard, who had been waiting beside him, immediately stepped forward and was about to escort Tumaihan down.

Tumai was rare, and he suddenly panicked, and said in a loud voice: "Wait, what did you just say, the new Great Khan!" ”

When Yan Song heard this, he motioned to those brocade guards to let go of Tumaihan, and then looked at Tumaihan in surprise and spoke.

"You don't think that after you are captured by my Ming Dynasty, the five consuls you appointed will honestly send a mission to ransom you, right?"

"As far as I know, they have been fighting for the throne for a long time, and they have no flaws to care about you."

When Tumaihan heard this, the look on his face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he knew that the situation that Yan Song said would be very likely to happen.

In the past, except for himself, the Great Khan, who was able to subdue a few of them with his own strength, no one in the entire tribe could restrain them.

What's more, the five ruling faces are not in harmony with each other, each with a ghost in their hearts, and they all wish that the other party died early!

And now, he has become a prisoner of the Ming people, not to mention the majesty of the Great Khan, and most of the 50,000 people who controlled the strings in his hands have also been killed or injured.

It seems that Tumaihan was able to anticipate his own tragic fate, and when the five rulers had finally competed to elect a new Great Khan, where should his former Great Khan be placed at that time?

The only thing Tumaihan could think of was that when that time came, he would be redeemed by the mission sent by the tribe from the Ming people, and then on the way, he would be quietly resolved.

Then, the new Great Khan would be unusually skilled in throwing the pot on the head of the Ming people, and then take the opportunity to provoke a war to consolidate his rule.

Don't ask Tumaihan how he knew, because this trick was used before!

Thinking of this, Tumaihan's expression suddenly became gloomy, and he clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.

"Amutai, Wei Zhengsu, and Pullik, you ungrateful things, how Ben Khan treats you on weekdays!"

Then, Tumaihan reacted violently and asked Yan Song.

"Where did you get this news from?"

Yan Song seemed to have expected Tumaihan to ask this question, and immediately explained.

"Have you forgotten that your tribe's claw map is cooperating with us!"
