Chapter 427: Cooperation
"Does the prince mean that I will help you Tatar deal with Ordos, and you will help me deal with Liu Jin? Do you think I will promise you?" Zilong couldn't help but guess, but he was quite disdainful in his heart, if Prince Bal's conditions were really like this, Zilong didn't want to agree.
Although it is Ordos that is now violating the border of the Ming Dynasty, the Tatars that have grown stronger and unified Mongolia will definitely invade the Ming Dynasty like Ordos.
And between him and Liu Jin, Zilong felt that this was more of a personal vendetta. Tatar and Ming, but they are national hatred!
Although Zilong hasn't read many books, he can still tell which is more important.
No matter what, Zilong will not ignore the general interests of the country and set up a unified Mongolian enemy for the Ming Dynasty.
"Naturally this is not the case!" Prince Baal smiled lightly and said, "Brother Xu is a smart man, and he can also distinguish the hatred of the country and the family!
"Huh?!" Zilong nodded slightly, and he also understood in his heart, it seems that this Bal prince has other methods of persuasion.
Sure enough, after Prince Barr finished saying this, he said: "Actually, whether it is the Mongolian nation or the Han people in the Central Plains, the grievances between us are actually hundreds of years ago! Although my Mongolian tribe had some faults at that time, but now that they have been driven to the grassland, after more than a hundred years, no matter how great the sin is, it should be atoned for!"
"Tumubao hasn't gone too far!" Zilong is not such an easily persuaded person, now he represents the Hetao, but he will not take it lightly.
"This civil fort was also made by the Warats, and it has nothing to do with my Tatars!" Prince Bar pushed it clean, seeing Zilong's brows furrowed slightly, he understood that this kind of sophistry would not convince Zilong, and immediately said, "In fact, the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia have been at war endlessly, firstly, because of the feud back then, and secondly, it is not that there is no buffer between the two countries!"
"Huh?" Zilong heard it, and faintly felt a little truth in his heart.
"Daming and Mongolia directly border, even if there is no feud between the two countries, I am afraid that because of the interests between each other, there will be a fierce war, so bitter, it is still the people of Daming and my Mongolian herdsmen!" Prince Bar saw that Zilong was slightly moved, and immediately continued, "But now it is a little different! Brother Xu controls the Hetao, and entering can curb the way of my Mongolia to the south, and retreating can also protect the safety of the Ming border fortress!" If my Mongolian iron cavalry wants to go south, I vow that I will not be able to bypass the Hetao, so as long as Brother Xu controls the Hetao for a day, and can maintain the neutrality and deterrence of the Hetao, I think this is the key to peace between my Mongolia and the Central Plains Imperial Court!"
The concept of "this ......" is the first time Zilong has heard it, but after thinking about it carefully, Zilong can't help but feel that there is some truth.
The Hetao is located on the plug, which is the most special. The Mongols wanted to go south, and the first thing to seize in this northwestern land was the Hetao.
The reason why Ordos went south and gave a lot of money to the Tianwang faction and invited the Tianwang faction to send troops together.
Seeing that Zilong was a little moved, Prince Bar immediately said: "Besides, as long as Liu Jin is in the center of the Ming Dynasty for one day, Brother Xu will not be able to coexist with the Ming Dynasty for a day!
"The matter between Liu Jin and me, the prince doesn't need to say much, how to deal with it is an internal matter of our country!" Although Zilong was unhappy when he heard it, he felt a little more resentment towards Liu Jin, but he didn't want this Prince Bal to know what kind of contradiction he had between him and Liu Jin, so he interrupted loudly.
"Okay! Don't talk about the Ming Dynasty!" Prince Bar heard that Xu Zilong just didn't let himself talk about Liu Jin, but he didn't refute what he said before, he immediately understood that this king of Hetao was obviously moved by what he said.
At that moment, Prince Bar continued, "What I want to say this time is that Brother Xu's Hetao army and my Tatar army will work together to destroy the Ordos Department!"
After the deed is done, we will divide Ordos equally!
In this way, I Tatar got a part of the strength of Ordos, which can be regarded as getting what I wanted.
And Brother Xu's Hetao has been supplemented by half of the Ordos Department, and its strength has also been greatly improved, and it can also play a better buffering role between Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty! Isn't this fast?"
"It turns out that the prince wants me to cooperate with your Tatar actions!" Although Zilong had guessed before, he wanted to oppose it no matter what, so as not to make the Tatars sit big.
But now after Prince Barr's recounting, he faintly felt that what Prince Barr said was indeed conducive to the peace of the people of the two countries, but he didn't want Tatar to sit big, so as not to become a Ming sinner, and immediately said bluntly, "As the prince said, Hetao is supplemented by a part of Ordos, which can indeed greatly enhance its strength, and it is indeed conducive to the peace between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia! But if this is the case, you Tatars will be one step closer to unifying Mongolia, and for the Ming Dynasty, isn't it more dangerous?"
"There are no less than dozens of Mongolian tribes! There are Yongshebu and Ordos tribes in the near future, and there are four Warat tribes in the distance! Brother Xu is a smart man, and he should know what a price we Tatars will have to pay if we want to unify Mongolia! Even if we succeed, it will be ten years later. At that time, after many fierce battles in Mongolia, I am afraid that even Brother Xu's Hetao may not be able to fight, let alone the majestic Ming Dynasty!"
Prince Bar grinned, and then said, "What's more, the little king is willing to swear here, as long as the little king is in power, he will not let my Mongolian iron cavalry go south to invade Ming, if you violate this oath, you should die without a place to be buried!"
"Prince Barr is serious!" Although Zilong didn't believe in the oath of these powerful people, Prince Barr's oath also made him believe a lot.
What's more, what Prince Barr said, he also vaguely felt that there was some truth.
As long as you can make the Hetao sit big, you can contain Mongolia when you advance, and you can protect the Ming Dynasty when you retreat, and in the end, even if you are really defeated and defeat the Mongolia of your Hetao, I am afraid that I will not have the strength to invade the south.
In this way, at least the peace between the two countries can be preserved for decades.
Decades later, the Ming Dynasty has developed for so long, and it should be able to go on a northern expedition like Taizu and Taizong again, and he doesn't have to worry so much.
What's more, Zilong had a faint thought in his heart, Liu Jin, as the person in charge of the central court, won the support of the Queen Mother and others.
Although he doesn't care about the identity of the prince, he must find his mother and punish the sinners who framed his mother, that is, Liu Jin and the Queen Mother.
But if you want to deal with these two people, I'm afraid that my current strength is not enough.
Therefore, Zilong thought about whether he could expand the strength of the Hetao, and when the time came, as the real and unknown king of the Hetao, he would put pressure on the center of the Ming Dynasty to find out the beginning and end of the Zheng Wang case and give his mother justice.
Although Zilong had been persuaded by Prince Baal in his heart, he didn't agree to him immediately, only heard Zilong say: "Prince, your proposal is indeed very tempting......!
"Brother Xu, please speak!" When Prince Bar heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, with the support of Zilong, the king of the Hetao, the Tatars were more sure of destroying Ordos, and he couldn't help but ask happily at the moment.
"But I need your sincerity!" Zilong said righteously, "I don't object to cooperating to destroy Ordos! But I hope you can retract all the tricks that have been carried out in the past and now in the territory of the Ming Dynasty to sabotage the Ming Dynasty! Stop instigating the rebellion in our Ming Dynasty, how about it?"
Although it seems that the advantages of cooperating with Prince Bar outweigh the disadvantages, Zilong cannot tolerate Prince Barr carrying out those tricks in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, disrupting the order of the Ming Dynasty, and trapping the people in the midst of fire and water.
Not to mention it from afar, let's just say that the Sun and Moon Divine Sect was already dying, but after receiving the support of the Tatars, he even dared to assassinate the emperor, and the men and horses under his command were neat, and there were many masters, which had gradually become a scourge for the Ming Dynasty.
What Zilong wanted to deal with was only a few people in the center of the imperial court, not including the innocent people of the Ming Dynasty.
"This ......" Prince Barr did not expect that the king of Hetao, who seemed to be persuaded by himself, would suddenly put forward such a condition.
Although most of these activities carried out in the territory of the Ming Dynasty were arranged by Dayan Khan himself and implemented by himself.
However, none of these activities have been achieved over the years.
If, because of the words of the king of the Hetao, these many affairs were abolished now, the Tatars would have suffered a great loss.
"What, does the prince think that two empty words can convince me of the sincerity of your country's cooperation with me?" Zilong couldn't help but pressure Prince Bar when he saw that Prince Bar was hesitating.
"Hehe, Brother Xu is really a rare opponent!" Prince Baal was originally hesitant, but as soon as Zilong said this, he said with a smile, "I agree to these things! From today onwards, my Tatar cooperation with the Sun and Moon God Cult will be terminated, and I will also list all other activities one by one, and you will handle them!"
On the one hand, Prince Bar really said a lot of activities and plans in the Central Plains, including corrupting some high-ranking officials in the provincial capital, or carrying out some assassination activities in the Central Plains and so on!
Zilong listened carefully, and nodded incessantly, but from beginning to end, he didn't hear Prince Barr mention Liu Yang, and immediately understood that this Tatar prince just abandoned the car to protect the handsome, and what he threw out was just some small chess pieces that he couldn't look down on, and the most useful of them was only the Sun and Moon God Sect.
Ke Zilong is also not ready to expose Prince Baal, just because he really needs to cooperate with Prince Baal to expand the strength of the Hetao and achieve his wish!
As for the activities of Prince Bal, or Tatar, in the Central Plains, Zilong is confident that he will slowly dig it out.
That Liu Yang already knew his name and appearance, and Zilong really didn't believe that he couldn't investigate.
In addition, it is impossible for Prince Bar to give up all the efforts made by Tatars in the Central Plains in order to cooperate with him.
As long as he can make the Tatars somewhat restrained, it is enough.
