Chapter 431: A New Way to Play against the Northern Captives
If you don't buy shares, you will go into the ground, it's not that Yao Changzhen is alarmist, but the reality is like this, even in Nanya, which has been dissatisfied with the Jiangnan region that the Ming court has managed too wide since the Ming Dynasty, is the same.
Emperor Ming is extremely domineering, this is the inevitability of the imperial system, headed by the traitor Wang Chonggu, the practice of the placement of hooligans to build the official factory group, has gradually become the representative of the advanced productive forces of the Ming Dynasty, they have more mature industrial craftsmen, have a more extensive, cheaper sources of raw materials, have high value-added goods, but also have a very terrible cohesion.
Even if the emperor does not use the repressive force within the class and only relies on commercial behavior, some changes have already taken place in the Ming Dynasty, and these changes must keep up with the pace of the emperor, otherwise the so-called thousand-year-old family that is proud of it is just the wind of the past and the pages of the book.
Kelp is indeed profitable, because the kelp business has been benefiting farmers and fishermen from the beginning, and planting kelp is profitable, otherwise no one wants to plant, and benefiting farmers and fishermen means that profits are reduced, which is why Yao Changzhen did not want to participate in the first place.
However, the seafood that comes with kelp is lucrative, such as fish oil, palm oil, gold, silver, copper, iron reprocessing, sulfur, sugar cane, sugar cubes, mahogany dyes, spices, and so on.
The kelp business is the admission ticket, and if you don't do the kelp business, you still want to make a fortune? It is impossible for the emperor to allow it, the emperor doesn't need to do more, he doesn't give you goods, what kind of seafood business do you do? Seventy percent of the Ming Dynasty's seafood was controlled by the five major ocean-going trading houses.
Under the cruel competition, some of the luxury households in Xitucheng put aside their prejudices against the emperor and chose to surrender.
Yao Changzhen is this kind of person, just like people, the first priority of the family is to ensure survival, so that they can plot more.
Wang Qian, Yao Guangqi and Yao Changzhen, Yao Changxing's negotiation was not very smooth, but in the end, each took what he needed, Yao Guangqi needed Yao's business routes and connections in Huguang, and Yao Changzhen needed profits, from beginning to end, Yao Changzhen did not completely tear his face, whether it was Yao Guangqi's 200 taels of silver settlement fee that left Beijing in a fiasco, or Yao Guangqi's embarrassment when he returned to Beijing, Yao Changzhen still regarded him as a son.
Leave a line in your work, and see you in the future.
A business of taking what each needs was finally agreed upon after a war of words.
Wang Qian didn't get drunk, but Yao Guangqi was a little drunk, everyone was drunk if he was not drunk, Yao Guangqi was just touching the scene, he was no longer Yao's young master after all, but an official of the empire.
After Wang Qian sent Yao Guangqi back, he opened the car window, and let the cold spring breeze blow, which was already slightly drunk, and immediately woke up a lot, he seriously calculated that kelp is thin but large, and it is not easy to break, just like the salt business, as long as this business is done well, their Wang family is Zhong Ming Ding's food family, of course, it is already now.
"Dad, I'm back, and the business is settled." Wang Qian returned home and walked to Tingyuxuan, which is the study of the Wang family's private house, and after his father returns from work in the Yamen, he will return here to meet the backbone of the Jin Party, take a look at miscellaneous newspapers and Di Bao, and think about some questions by the way.
Wang Qian held a large teapot and poured a large bowl of tea, which was the best drink for those poor coolies outside Chaoyangmen, especially after being chilled.
"Agreed?" Wang Chonggu opened his eyes and looked at Wang Qian's brows, he sent Wang Qian to take a fancy to Wang Qian's arrogance, Wang Chonggu didn't want to negotiate this deal at all!
Wang Qian's broken mouth will definitely not be polite, then Yao Laoqi did not slap the table and leave, but sat down to talk about business seriously? !
Wang Qian explained the negotiation process in detail, he was very surprised by his father's reaction, this has been done, and he still has to be scolded?
"The rebel misunderstands me, your kelp business has been done in Shandong, Beizhili, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and now you have done it in Huguang, Henan, you are afraid that our family will die slowly!" Wang Chonggu was a little depressed, his son, he didn't have a day to worry about, and he couldn't even do his true character well, so he actually negotiated the business.
As soon as Wang Qian heard this, he was immediately unhappy, and said loudly: "Dad, what do you mean, what do you mean!" According to you, I should have achieved nothing, right? Feelings, you let me go, just running for me, I will ruin the business, right? I did it, but I did it wrong?! ”
"Yes." Wang Chong's ancient words are concise and to the point.
Wang Qian was immediately angry, and there was no Heavenly Principle and Wang Fa!
"Your first priority is to be a loser." Wang Chonggu leaned back in his chair, squinted at Wang Qian and said, "The more losers, the better." ”
Wang Qian drank some wine, and Yao Guangqi was now serving the country and the people, and being born and dying stimulated him a little, his ambition to make a contribution was immediately ignited, and he slapped the table and said angrily: "It's unreasonable!" ”
"Whose father is not Jackie Chan, I went to Sichuan, the mountains are high and the rivers are long, killing people and setting fire in Sichuan, and I also went to Dujiangyan to visit the field, determined the first phase of the Jimin Canal, and even watched the completion of the first lime factory, how can I only be a waste! Dad, I told you! ”
"Your son is not a waste of dim sum, he can be a talent!"
Wang Chonggu threw Wang Qian a class theory, Wang Qian is the kind of son who is kind and filial to his son, and he didn't want to read it, but when he saw that the signature was Zhang Juzheng, after reading part of it patiently, he immediately understood why Wang Chonggu said this.
"Just Xu Dad, you have the ability!" Wang Qian's mouth hardened, and he put away the class theory dejectedly, and then read it carefully after he went back, he could only say that who made his father have great ability and earned a lot of wealth, Wang Qian's main responsibility is indeed a loser, the more losers, the better, the faster their old Wang's assets multiply, the faster His Majesty's butcher's knife comes.
In fact, there is a good way, Wang Chonggu Zhishi, from the official election official + wang clan + monopoly class, to the wang clan + monopoly class, so that the threat to the emperor will be suddenly reduced, and Wang Qian also has a bright future.
But Wang Chonggu doesn't want to go, Zhang Juzheng is still there, he doesn't want to go, you Zhang Juzheng has passed the test to return to the field, and I, Wang Chonggu, also have a rogue official factory to build, if there is a chance, who is not willing to be a virtuous minister who will go down in history and be famous for centuries!
You Zhang Juzheng did it, but I Wang Chonggu can't do it?
Wang Qian thought about it, this is fine, it is not bad for him to continue to be that Jingshi Kuoshao, he understands why Zhang Juzheng's sons are all in the Royal Gewu Academy and refuse to come out, the father is too powerful, and the son is really difficult to do.
"Your Majesty has given you an errand and asked you to go to the outside of the plug to pick up the Tuman Khan Bao to enter Beijing." Wang Chonggu looked at Wang Qian, sat up straight, and said with a solemn face.
Wang Qian was extremely excited, rubbed his hands and said, "No, is the opportunity to make a contribution?" ”
"I excused myself and let Xiao Chongye go, this is indeed an opportunity to make contributions, but we can't get too involved." Wang Chonggu explained the reason for the refusal, if Wang Qian didn't understand, he could go to the book, there was a reason in the book.
"Is the North strong or weak?" After Wang Qian knew that the credit for this time had nothing to do with him, he talked about his doubts.
"Very weak." Wang Chonggu said very convincingly: "To give a simple example, now the northern captives, especially the northern captives in Monan, can't even write Mongolian characters, and the national letters they write are all written in Chinese, do you understand?" Emperor Cheng Zuwen's Five Expeditions to the Grassland took away not only the iron pot, but also their backbone. ”
This is a fact, even the Tuman Khan, the suzerainty Khan, could not write Mongolian characters, and every time he wrote a national letter, he asked his son Buyan to write Chinese.
"The steppe has always been like this, when the Xiongnu are strong, they are called Xiongnu, when Xianbei is strong, the steppe people are called Xianbei, when the Turks are strong, when the Khitan is strong, they are called Khitan, when the Jurchens are strong, they are called Jurchens, and when the Mongols are strong, they are called Mongolia, but it is just a name, their life is very poor, and their strength is not strong, otherwise Altan Khan will not only plunder Gyeonggi once."
"Doesn't he want to? He can't. Wang Chonggu more accurately expressed his inner judgment on the strength of Beiyu.
This is not Wang Chonggu looked down on the Beiyu, Jiajing 29 years, after Altan Khan entered the Kou, he could not enter again, at that time, the Ming border army did not even have a full salary, relying on thousands of guest soldiers to fight with the Beiyu, the Ming Dynasty has no way to the Beiyu, the problem has always been not that the war cannot be won, but that the victory can not expand the results.
Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate.
This is the disadvantage, and the two-hundred-year conflict between the Beiyu and the Ming Dynasty is just a better surrender condition, hoping that the Ming Dynasty will lift the border trade blockade and make life better.
In the final analysis, the Beiyu are a group of robbers, and the Daming Jingying is a professional army, a guest soldier who is out of production, and the strength of the Beiyu corresponds to the military garrison on the border of the Ming Dynasty.
Felipe also wondered about this question, Da Ming Xingwen and Wu, as puzzling as he wielded a knife to cut off his descendants, civilization, order, and peace are just a compromise between power and power in the absence of absolute superiority to break the balance, this is Tessie's universal values and bandit logic.
Not to mention the current Jingying, that is, the battle of Yingzhou during the Zhengde period, Ming Wuzong led the Jingying, outside the city of Yingzhou, and the little prince cut for a day, after the little prince retreated, he did not go south for 30 years, and the northwest border of the Ming Dynasty was stable for 30 years.
Is the North strong? Strength and weakness are always relative.
Therefore, Wang Qian's question, whether the strength of the Beilu is strong or weak, in fact, it is very easy to answer, the strength of the current Ming Jingying, the Beiyu is just a local chicken and a dog, from a historical point of view, but where the precipitation of the grassland can reach more than 12 inches per year, how can there be any Beiyu.
Wang Chonggu and Wang Qian talked a lot, mainly about the entry of the Tuban Khan into Beijing, the Jin Party has been deeply involved in the grassland for many years, and the grassland with usury is everywhere.
"Actually, there is a good way, don't blame us Jin people for being ruthless, this is also Altan Khan luring wolves into the house." Wang Chonggu's face was extremely calm, but with a hint of playfulness and cruelty.
"What's the solution?" Wang Qian asked suspiciously.
"Minus Ding."
"During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Khitan established the Liao State, after the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the Northern Song Dynasty horses put Nanshan, and then the Yanyun slogan was shouted loudly, but there was no action, and the Liao State was similar, I fell in love with the Buddhists, the Liao Kingdom was full of temples, this temple was not a production, it was a place of gathering, for the sake of faith, at that time, each family in the Liao Kingdom had to have a monk to worship the Buddha, and this monk was still a Chengding." Wang Chonggu talked about the past.
The Buddhist temples of Liao, the Golden Buddha is not destined for people, this fate is wealth, land, grain, livestock, etc., are all fate.
"This believer is still different from the monks, believing in Buddhism is just believing, it is enough to go to the temple to burn incense money, but the monks are not allowed to get married when they enter the temple, but they can eat and drink well when they become monks, for a long time, this man has become a monk, women cannot marry, a temple is better than 100,000 soldiers, as it is." Wang Chonggu is not without a target, after the Liao State believed in Buddhism, the national strength weakened rapidly, and when the Yan Agu defeated and killed the Eagle Barrier Officer and rebelled, the Liao State completely went to extinction.
This set, Wang Chonggu knows, Wan Shihe knows, Zhu Yijun also knows, Zhu Yijun calls this set of gameplay: Buddha (nǎi) head music.
"Do you believe it?" Wang Qian frowned, the biggest problem with this set of methods is how to fool the people of Beiyu to believe in Buddhism.
"Altan Khan has nothing to do, take that monk to Bansheng City?" Wang Chonggu answered this question, Da Ming does not need more actions, not even need to add fuel to the fire, just need to watch silently is enough, Wang Chonggu said with emotion: "Altan Khan led Tantra to the grassland, believers will kneel down step by step to send their life wealth to the lama temple, and they are afraid that the lamas will not accept it." ”
Sometimes, good and bad, right and wrong, the stomach is clearer than the brain, and believers who can't eat will gradually become monks, which is much more insidious and much easier to use than a sword and an arrow, a board and a glance.
"Father, you, you..." Wang Qian said sluggishly: "Father should cut off his children and grandchildren!" It's so poisonous! It's so poisonous! ”
Wang Qian is extremely glad that he is still alive, and he also has two sons, according to Yin De, Wang Chonggu's desperate plan is the last one!
Wang Chonggu was stunned, looked at Wang Qian and said in disbelief: "Your father has seen a lot of knowledge in his life, and he has never seen such scolding words against himself. ”
"Readers, can the insidiousness of scholars be called insidious? It's called a painting strategy. ”
Compared with the Buddha head music of the Liao State who believed in Buddhism, the Northern Song Dynasty's emphasis on literature and light on martial arts was not much better.
Tuman Khan was not weak, and in the first year of Longqing, he was even able to break through the Xifengkou and plunder Gyeonggi.
In the original history, Tuman Khan and Li Chengliang fought a total of five times, the first time was the third year of Wanli, the Tuman Khan led 100,000 people, known as 500,000, to plunder Jinzhou, the second time was the sixth year of Wanli, Tuman Khan, Su Jianghai and others attacked Liaoyang, and quickly killed Hai by Li Chengliang, the third time was the seventh year of Wanli to attack Guangning, the fourth time was the eighth year of Wanli to attack Tieling, the fifth time was the ninth year of Wanli, plundered Liaodong, and was repelled by Li Chengliang.
These five encounters, Li Chengliang all won a big victory, and even pursued dozens of miles, in the ninth year of Wanli, the Tuman Khan was even more menacing, known as 500,000 troops, to go to Liaodong first and then attack the Beijing Division, the news reached the Beijing Division, and countless people fled from Andingmen, and there were people who died every day.
But that time, Tuman Khan still couldn't get any bargain in Li Chengliang's hands, let alone Jingshi, and he didn't even see the walls of Liaoyang City.
Tuman Khan is not weak, but not strong enough.
On February 17, the ninth year of Wanli, Xiao Chongye as an envoy, with the officials of the Ministry of Rites, rushed to Saiwai, Tuman Khan has been assembled in Xinghe outside Xuanfu, waiting for the arrival of the Ming envoys, accompanied by Xiao Chongye and Xuanda Governor Wu Baipeng, Xiao Chongye wants to take away Tuman Khan, Wu Baipeng wants to take over the entire territory of Tuman Khan.
The news of Tuman Khan's surrender is not a secret in the grassland at all, the cotton clothes borrowed by the emperor last year, Tuman Khan has no ability to repay the loan after losing Kaipingwei, and there is no way to do anything except return himself to the emperor.
The news of the surrender had long spread throughout the steppe, and the people who were unwilling to surrender and surrender would naturally go to Altan Khan, there were not many such people, but all of them were diehards.
Xiao Chongye received the Tuman Khan and began to return to Beijing, on the way back to Beijing, the mission was attacked three times, there is no doubt that this was launched by the diehards, the Tuman Khan was poisoned twice, and almost died on the grassland, and he could never enter the Ming Dynasty.
There are people on the grassland, for the so-called glory of the Great Yuan, they want to leave the suzerain, the suzerain, the Great Khan, in the grassland forever, further intensifying the contradiction between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Captives, so that the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Captives will always be trapped in the whirlpool of war and cannot extricate themselves.
Xiao Chongye had already prepared, murder, arson, sneak attack and poisoning, these were all prevented by Xiao Chongye, Tuman Khan successfully arrived at Xuanfu, arrived here, it was already very safe, the next day, Tuman Khan passed Juyong and entered the Ming Dynasty, three days later, Tuman Khan arrived outside Desheng.
Dong Fox once asked Tuman Khan a question, that is: As a descendant of the Golden Family, as the suzerain Great Khan, don't you feel ashamed to surrender to the Ming Dynasty? It's really the end of the road, pick up the ancestral scimitar, and draw the knife quickly, which can be regarded as an explanation.
Tuman Khan felt that what Dong Fox said made sense, the golden knife that Genghis Khan prayed to Changshengtian was in the hands of Tuman Khan, but after thinking about it, he still didn't draw the knife quickly, he refused to die, naturally he spared his life, but Daming and Beiyu also needed such an opportunity.
As the suzerain, the life of the Tuban Khan is not only his own, but also all the steppe people, after the Ming Dynasty opened up the border trade, the right wing led by Altan Khan, the life was rapid and stable, and even repaired the two cities of Bansheng and naturalization.
Tuman Khan also saw the hope of reconciliation, and he was naturally desperate when he entered Beijing this time, and perhaps, he could give the grassland people another chance to choose.
It's been more than 200 years since you came and went, and no one could help anyone, so you have to take the eyes of the Ming Emperor back to the land from the vast ocean and look at the already difficult life in the north?
After Dong Fox heard Tuman Khan's words, he just said disdainfully: Cowards will always find suitable reasons for their timidity.
Dong Fox abandoned Tuman Khan, went to Bansheng, and took refuge in Altan Khan, at the age of Tuman Khan, right and wrong, right and wrong, there has long been no standard, this human matter is nothing more than the word choice.
Tuman Khan is the king of Huaiyi canonized by the Ming Emperor, is the king of captivity, he naturally has his own process of entering Beijing, originally Tuman Khan should go to Chaoyang Gate to enter Beijing, that is the way the prince to go, the Ministry of Rites broke out a round of discussion, the emperor finally Zhu approved, and the soldiers won the door of morality.
Wan Shihe advocates taking the Desheng Gate, because the king himself is not a clan, not the prince of the Ming Dynasty, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, these kings of the heels, is part of the Ming military bondage, similar to the Ming canonized command of the same knowledge, commander, since it is a military bondage, it is natural to take the military road.
If the Tuman Khan can go to Chaoyangmen, it represents the victory of Xiuwende and Rouyuan, and the victory of Desheng represents the victory of Yidi wolf-faced beast heart, fearing power but not virtue, Wan Shihe tried his best to persuade the Ming Emperor of his proposition, and suppressed the Xiude faction within the Ministry of Rites, and finally achieved this result.
There are many similar struggles, some radicals believe that at this time, Tuban Khan should have had some accident on the road and died unexpectedly, and then the Ming Dynasty better ruled the newly opened land, that is, the Bashang grassland, this part of the radicals is represented by Tan Lun, and this radicalism has been recognized by a considerable number of people.
Tuman Khan entered the Kou in the first year of Longqing, causing Tan Lun to not rest well for seven consecutive days, and almost died on the spot, and Tuman's entry into the Kou caused Gyeonggi to be extremely shocked, it was not easy for him to find him outside the Saiwai, but when he walked into the Guannei, then his life could not be left to him.
The ideas of the radicals have been recognized by a considerable number of people, while the conservatives are represented by Wang Chonggu, advocating reconciliation, and have also been recognized by a considerable number of people.
With the advent of the Age of Navigation, the technology circulation channels and trade routes were transferred from the land to the sea, and the Ming Dynasty was shifting from the traditional land power to the sea and land, and the Ming Dynasty was also transforming from a small peasant economy to a commodity economy, and looked more at the north.
When they were arguing with each other, Wang Chonggu came up with a method of Buddha's head music.
How to evaluate this method, Wang Qian has already given his opinion, the person who came up with this method should really cut off his children and grandchildren, but the method of Buddha Toule is eye-catching, the price required for the expedition is too great, and it is refreshing to kill the Tuman Khan for a while, but it is an endless trouble.
But Wang Chonggu's method, even the radical leader of the radical faction, Tan Lun, called out, Wang Chonggu is worthy of being a scholar of the Ming Dynasty!
If it weren't for Wang Chonggu who came up with the Buddha's head music method, the radicals were afraid that they would have to slap the table with the conservatives, but with the Buddha's head music method, even the radicals felt that the conservatives were too insidious.
And the Ming official who was responsible for receiving the Tuman Khan was the Honglu Temple Qing Chen Society.
After going through the cumbersome etiquette, Tuman Khan walked into the Desheng Gate in fright, and walked towards the palace, His Majesty will be received in the Wenhua Palace, not in the Huangji Palace, Tuman Khan entered the court this time, and did not get the respect of the emperor, and even the Huangji Palace court meeting was not held.
The third lady of Zhongshun entered Beijing for the first time, and when the emperor summoned her, she was in the Huangji Palace! Although at that time there was only one foundation for the main hall.
Obviously, the defeated dog will not be respected, the Tuman Khan is not at his strongest, there are tens of thousands of cavalry and tens of thousands of followers, if the Tuman Khan has made up his mind to reconcile with the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty did not attack Daning, Quanning, Yingchang, Kaiping, of course Zhu Yijun will open the Emperor's Palace to summon him.
But the Tuban Khan is defeated, and if he is defeated, he must have the consciousness of a captive.
"Chen Huaiyi King Bao Tu to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." The Tuman Khan did not call himself a child, but called himself Bao Tu, and Bao was the surname given by His Majesty.
"I heard that the jade seal of the country is in the hands of King Huaiyi, but is there really such a thing?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously.
It is not surprising that Lin Dan Khan, the great-grandson of Tuman Khan, did not believe in the ministers, and collected all the military power in the hands of various ten thousand households into his own hands, which is not unexpected, but Lin Dan Khan handed over the military power that he had finally collected to his five wives and concubines.
Lin Dan Khan's wives and concubines rushed to surrender to Huang Taiji with their subordinates, among which Sanfu Jin Sutai and his son Ezhe surrendered to Huang Taiji and presented the jade seal of the country.
When Taqing sat firmly, Lin Dan Khan soon became extinct.
Zhu Yijun is more curious, is there really this heirloom jade seal?
"Back to Your Majesty's words, the minister did not pass on the jade seal, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the prime minister took off very much like to collect all kinds of seals, and smoothed all the seals and replaced them with his own name, the minister really doesn't know which His Majesty wants, if necessary, the minister can carve one by hand." Tuman Khan replied stubbornly, he didn't dare to bully the king, he could only tell the truth.
"There is a golden knife here, which has been passed down from generation to generation, and it was left by Yuan Taizu." Tuman Khan knelt on the ground and bowed his head and said.
"Golden Knife!" Zhu Yijun was silent, even if it was an ordinary iron knife, Zhu Yijun smiled at it, it was really this golden knife, and Daming also attached great importance to it, and he didn't know what Genghis Khan thought, fighting such a golden knife.
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said, "Present it and take a look." ”
It is indeed an old object, Zhu Yijun is very clear when he looks at the slurry on it.
This golden knife was only the size of a palm, more like a dagger, he didn't pull it out, after thinking twice, he said to Feng Bao: "Send the British Duke to Changling with this knife to worship Emperor Cheng Zuwen, and then seal this knife." ”
Zhu Yijun did not choose to destroy this cultural relic in the end, which represents the submission of the Great Khan, the suzerainty of the Northern Captives, and this knife is in Zhu Yijun's hands, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty is officially declared extinct.
"I prepared a palace for King Huaiyi, devoted myself to studying, and earnestly worshiped the Buddha." Zhu Yijun looked at Tuman Khan and said calmly.
"Worship the Buddha?" Tuman Khan's body couldn't help but tremble, and before he entered Beijing, he made a note and stated the many difficulties that the Northern Captives are now encountering, such as the grassland leather pot, the usury of the Jin people, the Datong prostitutes, and the Buddhist temple, but it seems that His Majesty does not intend to solve these problems, at least not in the short term, and even intensifies it, and also makes him believe in Buddhism.
Zhu Yijun frowned and asked, "Refuse to worship the Buddha?" ”
Zhu Yijun does not believe in Buddhism, this Huaiyi Mansion is a memorial arch built by Zhu Yijun, he believes in Buddhism, and the Beiyu will also feel that there is nothing wrong with believing in Buddhism, which is convenient for the development of the Buddha's head music policy.
"I don't believe in Buddhism." Tuman Khan still wanted to hold on.
Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said: "If you don't believe in Buddhism, forget it, there are still an extra five thousand taels of Buddha silver every year, don't forget it." ”
Huaiyi Wangfu only has 5,000 silver every year, because he is a defeated prisoner, has suffered consecutive defeats, and has to enter Beijing, so Huaiyi Wangfu's degree is not enough.
"If that's the case, then you can't worship the Buddha." Tuman Khan thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Well, King Huaiyi has a deferential heart." Zhu Yijun said with satisfaction.
