The so-called negotiation, in one case, is based on when both parties are equally powerful and no one is sure of victory. In another case, it is based on when both parties hope to get what they want at a smaller cost.
.
The current situation of the Ming Dynasty and the Tatar tribes is a mixture of the two. In terms of strength, the troops that the Ming Dynasty can mobilize and the wars it can support are obviously much stronger than the Tatar tribes. However, for the Ming Dynasty
, fighting causes a lot of harm and no gain.
Grassland tribes have never been afraid of war. They are like weeds, which cannot be burned away by fire but will grow again when the wind blows.
For them, war is a common occurrence. Cold winters, lack of clothing, and food will all lead to the rise and fall of tribes. War is just one of the disasters they need to fight against.
The Ming Dynasty may be able to defeat all the tribes on the grassland, but it is unable to control such a huge territory. As long as there is time to recuperate, powerful tribes will always reappear in one generation or two.
Therefore, what Ming Dynasty wanted was peace, not war. This was the basis for these envoys to have the confidence to negotiate.
However, as they received more and more information, they also realized that their previous ideas were too simple.
For the entire Ming Dynasty, apart from the so-called "exalting national prestige," war has no real benefits. However, for His Majesty the Emperor in the capital, the benefits of increasing national prestige are enough.
The interests of Ming Dynasty and the interests of His Majesty the Emperor are not always consistent.
This makes them feel uneasy!
It is true that the grassland tribes are not afraid of war, but this does not mean that the tribes they represent are not afraid of war.
The grassland is vast and there are countless tribes. The Ming Dynasty cannot conquer all the tribes, nor can it rule the entire grassland. However, if their tribe is destroyed, it is destroyed. Other tribes will rise again in their pastures, but... that is already
It's not them anymore.
Therefore, the so-called negotiation is nothing more than testing the other party's psychological bottom line. They come here to ask for something, but what they ask for is by no means really starting a war.
All eyes were focused on Dabaragan, making him feel unprecedented pressure. His mind was spinning rapidly. He turned his gaze to Yang Jie and said.
"Mr. Yang's words, could it be that he is bullying my grassland people and does not understand the affairs of the Ming Dynasty?"
"As the son of Prince Yang and an official of the Ming Dynasty, you came all the way to the grassland in order to catch a few smuggling businessmen?"
"Does Mr. Yang himself find this statement credible?"
Seeing that Dabaragan became a little impatient when he spoke, Yang Jie chuckled and asked.
"Dabaragan, are you admitting that the Chahar tribe has betrayed their trust, violated the mutual trade treaty, and secretly engaged in smuggling with merchants from the Ming Dynasty?"
The tone of these words sounded familiar, and everyone suddenly came back to their senses as soon as they thought about it.
Isn't this what Dabaragan said just now when he asked Yang Jie if he had ever been to the Chahar tribe? He didn't expect that he would be contradicted so quickly by the other party.
Facing Yang Jie's slightly teasing gaze, Dabaragan knew that he had said the wrong thing, and his face became even more ugly.
Seeing this situation, Yang Jie suppressed his smile and spoke seriously.
"Dabalagan, you know it yourself. You are from the grassland and don't understand the affairs of the Ming Dynasty. In that case, why do you think that these smuggling businessmen you talk about are not worthy of my investigation?"
"These mere businessmen you mentioned not only sell goods, but also smuggle weapons. If the price is enough, they will even leak information about our army. Why can't the court track down such thieves?"
"As for why it's me, it's because I've been trapped in the capital all my life, and I specifically asked Your Majesty to let me go to the grassland to relax. Are you satisfied with this explanation?"
Relax...relax?
Dabaragan's eyes widened. No matter how stupid he was, he could still realize that Yang Jie was talking nonsense. Fortunately, he could say it so seriously!
In a moment of shock and anger, Dabaragan took heart and asked directly.
"Master Yang, do you dare to say that you came to our Chahar Department for no other purpose than to track down this so-called smuggling matter?"
"That's natural."
Yang Jie nodded calmly. Immediately, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, he looked up at Dabaragan and asked.
"Otherwise, what do you think I am for?"
"Of course it is..."
As a nobleman of the Chahar tribe, Dabagan was once a confidant of Aga Dorji. When Yang Jie arrived in the Chahar tribe, he was responsible for receiving Yang Jie.
Because of this, he knew very well what Yang Jie was doing in the Chahar Department.
Hearing Yang Jie's slightly provocative question, he subconsciously wanted to answer, but after only speaking a few words, he hurriedly stopped.
This is a trap!
What did Yang Jie do?
He had only one purpose, and that was to incite Agadolji to betray Tutuo Buhua. What was terrible was that Agadolji was really persuaded by him and actually took action.
Although it is said that both Aga Dorji and Totuo Bohua are both dead now, if this matter is revealed, there is no doubt that Agado Erji will be completely confirmed as a traitor.
You know, there is also an envoy from the Ordos tribe who is here now, and he is a die-hard loyalist.
The reason why they were able to live in peace for the time being was simply because they had a tacit agreement not to mention this matter.
However, if it was brought up on this occasion, Ming Dynasty could take advantage of the situation and push all the responsibilities onto Aga Dorji himself.
When the time came, no explanation was given, but instead internal strife broke out.
However, if we don't go on, how can we prove that Yang Jie is the instigator of civil strife in the grassland?
For a moment, Dabaragan was caught in a dilemma.
At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared from the side and said.
"Dabaragan, I have known for a long time that the attack on the Great Khan was driven by Jinong's own greed, but your Chahar tribe insists that you were deceived by Mr. Yang. Now Mr. Yang is confronting you in front of you, but you are
You can’t come up with a reasonable explanation, so it’s obvious that you are just talking nonsense, intending to divert misfortune and frame things up. You said, you deliberately sow discord between me and the Ming Dynasty, what are the benefits?”
???
Everyone looked at the person who spoke, but what was surprising was that the person who said these words turned out to be Tuoli, the envoy from the Karaqin tribe.
This sudden change shocked everyone.
Especially Dabaragan, with a strong look of shock and anger in his eyes?
He really didn't expect that Tuoli would stab him in the back at this moment. However, a more sudden change was yet to come.
Immediately after Tuoli, Albugu, the envoy of Ongli Guot's tribe, also spoke and said.
"Yes, Dabalagan, I think the Chahar tribe should give an explanation to all the tribes on the grassland who are loyal to Tuotuo Buhua Khan!"
The words were brief, but they clearly expressed his attitude.
This sudden turn of events caught people off guard. Jin Lian looked at the two envoys in the flower hall who were targeting Dabbaragan with some confusion on his face.
You must know that what is currently outside the city of Chen Bingxuan's Mansion is the coalition forces of the Wengliguote Tribe and the Karaqin Tribe. This is also the "confidence" for these envoys to negotiate here.
These two films are so radical, and logically speaking, they should be the toughest ones.
In fact, in past negotiations, this was indeed the case. Compared with the Chahar Tribe, the Ordos Tribe, the Haraqin Tribe and the Wengliguote Tribe, they urged the Ming Dynasty to hand over Yang Jie more often and with greater intensity.
Much more.
However, no one expected that after Yang Jie actually appeared, they would be the first to switch sides.
etc……
His eyes fell on Yang Jie's calm and young face, and an idea suddenly came to Jin Lian's mind.
If he remembered correctly, in the past, although the Kalaqin and Wengliguote tribes were more anxious, thinking about it carefully, their eagerness was more like finding Yang Jie's whereabouts than wanting Yang Jie's life.
.
If you say so...
A flash of deep thought flashed across Jin Lian's eyes. It seemed that he had underestimated this young master of the Yang family.
To be able to make changes in the grasslands, and to be appointed by His Majesty to assist in negotiations after returning to the Ming Dynasty, this Yang Jie must have something behind him.
No wonder he dared to confront these envoys as soon as he arrived at the Xuan Mansion. It turned out that he had already known it...
The changes in the attitude of these two groups not only made Dabalagan extremely shocked and angry, but also the envoy of the Ordos tribe, Dalantai, was surprised. After realizing it, Dalantai immediately turned to Tuoli and Albugu.
"You two, the Chahar tribe is also a loyal tribe of the Great Khan. The reasons behind the death of the Great Khan are complicated. Even if Jinong is really rebellious, it cannot be implicated in the Chahar tribe. What's more, today we are here
I came here to find out whether the death of the Great Khan had anything to do with Yang Jie, so don’t get the wrong person."
Nowadays, among the several Tatar tribes, the Horqin tribe and the Tumut tribe are the main forces fighting the war with Oara, and most of their energy is still in the war.
You should know that although Tuotaobuhua and Agadolji are both dead, the war is still not over.
This is related to the ruling model on the grassland. The entire grassland Khanate is actually composed of tribes.
Including these large tribes, there are also countless small tribes under them.
This time Totuo Tuohua launched a war against Oara. It was large-scale and lasted for a long time. During this process, tribes of both sides, large and small, fought countless times, and each suffered losses. The accumulated hatred has long been gone.
One and a half stars.
Therefore, even if the Tatar side is leaderless after the deaths of Totubuhua and Agadolji, and the leaders and nobles of each tribe are already trying their best to slowly stop the war, this process is destined to take a long time.
.
Moreover, these two ministries did not agree to stir up the sensitive nerves of the Ming Dynasty under the current civil strife in Tatar, so they did not participate in this negotiation.
The remaining Asov tribe, dissatisfied with the Chahar tribe's support of Aghadorji's son Chuktaji, did not come either.
Therefore, among the five major tribes that came this time, except for the Karaqin tribe and the Wengliguote tribe, which emerged as a result of the incident, only the Chahar tribe and the Ordos tribe came.
But even so, these tribes have different needs.
Before Yang Jie came back, these needs were not fully exposed, but with Yang Jie's appearance, their differences finally began to become apparent.
As everyone can see now, for each tribe, what they have in common is that they want to use the death of Tuo Tuo Bu Hua and Agado Erji to ask for benefits from the Ming Dynasty.
However, in addition, each tribe also has its own demands. Dalantai is not clear about what the Kalaqin tribe and the Wengliguot tribe want, but what the Chahar tribe wants is very clear.
What I want is Yang Jie!
Nowadays, the internal situation in Tatar is very complicated. As one of the few adult men of the Golden Family, Totuo Buhua and Agadoerji died at the same time. The major tribes that were originally harmonious have long been fighting for the throne.
There is already an undercurrent surging.
Tuo Tuo Hua had three sons before him. The eldest son Tuo Gusi Mengke was born to Tuo Tuohua and Altagalqin. He was the most legitimate heir. After this incident, Tuo Gusi Mengke got Weng Liguote.
Ministry’s support.
However, he has a huge flaw, that is, his maternal grandfather is Shabhutan, the leader of the Gorros tribe.
At the beginning of the Tatar civil war, Aga Dorji betrayed Totu Buhua and attacked and killed him in public. Totu Buhua fled in haste and defected to Shabhutan.
However, Shabhutan was resentful because Tutuobuhua had abandoned his daughter, Tuogusi Mengke's mother, Altagalqin, causing her to lose face in front of all the grassland tribes.
Buhua lost power and killed him in the Gorros tribe.
As a result, Tuogusi's status was greatly shaken.
In addition to Tuogusi Mengke, Tuotuobuhua also has two sons, one is the second son Yexian Mengke born to He Yexian's sister, and the other is Marco Guer, the youngest son born to his concubine Samuel
Jisi.
Yexian Mengke's status meant that he could not inherit the throne of Khan. He knew this, so he fled back to Oara as soon as the incident happened.
The remaining Marco Gurgis seems to be the most suitable candidate and is also supported by the Karaqin tribe. However, he also has a fatal flaw, that is, he is too young, only seven years old.
.
However, whether it is Tuogusi Mengke or Marco Gurgis, they are both Tutuobuhua's sons. For the Chahar tribe, if any one of them comes to power, they will inevitably liquidate the original incident.
Therefore, the Chahar tribe finally chose to support Chuktaji, the son of Aghadorji. However, even if Agadorji was alive, and Tuotuobuhua had adult children, this Jinong
It is not known whether he is qualified to inherit the throne of Khan, let alone his son. The move of supporting Chuktaji obviously does not convince the various tribes.
In particular, Totuo Bohua's former confidants, the Aso tribe, were extremely dissatisfied with the Chahar tribe's actions of betraying the Great Khan by following Aga Dorji and then plotting to become the Khan. In the past few days, they had already had several conflicts.
.
Therefore, for the Chahar tribe, the most important thing right now is to protect themselves, and the best way to protect themselves is to blame everything on Yang Jie.
Although the fact of Aga Dorji's betrayal cannot be changed, the meaning of whether he had planned it or was instigated is completely different...
