Scroll 231: Historic Meeting (2)

 This is what a Han scholar who lived on the grassland told Zasai's father Boyan and uncle Nuantu about the power structure of the Zhou Dynasty many years ago, while Zasai was taught by Zasai.

What particularly impressed him was the sentence, "(The emperor) and the scholar-bureaucrats govern the world." When he said this sentence, although the scholar had never been an official in the Zhou Dynasty, he was extremely proud when he said this sentence, with a proud look on his face.

, which also shows that in the Zhou Dynasty, the power of scholar-bureaucrats was great.

At that time, he was also very surprised that the Zhou Dynasty was such a powerful court. The emperor could not enjoy exclusive power. He was even less powerful than the tribal leaders on the grassland. He also needed to negotiate with the nobles (scholars and civil servants) to share power. Before, he had always

I thought the emperor of Zhou Dynasty was omnipotent.

The young man in front of him is one of the most promising among the scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty. His master is said to be a member of the cabinet of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Presumably this person will follow the path of his master in the future.

Zaisai knew very well that it was impossible for the five Inner Khalkha tribes to be independent from the world. As Lindan Batur's ambitions expanded, Nurhaci's appetite increased greatly. Neither the Chahar people nor the Jianzhou Jurchens would

If all the surrounding forces are allowed to sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, the five Inner Khalkha tribes will be involved sooner or later.

Since you have to join sooner or later, instead of being passively involved, how about taking the initiative to choose yourself first? At least you can have a chance to choose, and you can also get better conditions by walking in the front.

Zaisai also had another idea. This man was said to be the wisest among the young generation of scholars in the anniversary year. The Battle of Qian'an had indeed taught him a profound lesson. He wanted to use it to discuss the matter of 50,000 prisoners of war in the capital camp.

Let's hear some of this young man's views.

Whether the other party wants to persuade the Five Inner Khalkha tribes to win over them, or whether they want to spy on the situation of the Five Inner Khalkha tribes and make an excuse for the Great Zhou, Zaisai doesn't mind.

He felt that as long as the other party was willing to talk, she could always get something from the other party. As for whether he would believe what the other party said, it ultimately depended on him.

It depends on your own judgment on the future of the five inner Khalkha tribes, the surrounding Chahars and Jianzhou Jurchens, and the positioning of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The kettle started to boil. It would take some time until the water boiled. Feng Ziying extended her hand to invite the other party to take a seat. Zai Sai did not show any politeness and nodded and sat down.

"Lord Zasai, to be honest, I really didn't expect you to invite me. I originally thought that the next battle in Qian'an City might lead to a deadly feud between us..."

Feng Ziying's opening statement was very frank, but Zaisai was not satisfied, "Master Feng, if you make this judgment, I think it is both a slight on me and a slight on yourself. When Busia Mara comes,

This is what I mean, and I deeply agree, so I chose to invite you. I don’t think we need to be too polite. This is your Han habit, or etiquette, but we, the sons of the grasslands, don’t like it very much.

.”

Feng Ziying couldn't help but laugh, "It's okay, Mr. Zasai is quick to talk to others, so of course I will accompany him."

"The purpose of inviting Mr. Feng to meet this time is to discuss the handling of the more than 50,000 prisoners in the Beijing camp. Busia Mara once brought a message, but I am not satisfied. In addition, the situation may have changed. We have

The Khalkha tribes and the Horqin tribe also need to think about it, so I plan to take this opportunity to discuss with Mr. Feng face to face; secondly, I heard that Mr. Feng is a wise man among the young officials in the anniversary year, and I would like to discuss the future prospects of the Liaodong grassland.

I will discuss something with Mr. Feng, and I hope you can give me some advice."

Feng Ziying nodded slightly, "Then let me ask, whether the way the first matter is handled will have an impact on the second issue? In other words, Mr. Zaisai has greater expectations for the second issue, so that

Might the latter question have an impact on the first matter?"

A flash of light flashed in Zai Saiying's eyes, and he nodded: "Master Feng is really quick to talk, so I won't hide anything. Both possibilities you mentioned exist."

"Well, since Mr. Zaisai is so forthright and magnanimous, it would be too hypocritical for Feng to remain coy." Feng Ziying thought for a while and said directly: "How about this, let's put the first thing behind.

Son, let’s talk about the second question first. I think the first thing is just focusing on the present, while the second question is looking on the long term.

If the five Erkha tribes come, then I will choose to talk about the first issue first, but Lord Zasai, I prefer to talk about the second issue first."

Zaisai was a little unhappy, "Your Excellency, you don't have to look down on my uncle so much to elevate Zaisai. Zaisai is not that shallow..."

Feng Ziying laughed loudly, "Lord Zaisai, you have misunderstood. Do you think Feng is so shallow and still needs to use such crude and inferior methods to cater to you?"

Zai Sai thought the same thing. Who is Feng Ziying? How could she use such cheap tricks that even the fool behind her could see through to please herself?

"That's because I misunderstood, but what Mr. Feng said really made me curious..."

Zaisai looked at Feng Ziying, and Feng Ziying was not polite, "I also respect Mr. Zhuoli Ketu Hongbatulu. According to my understanding, Zhuoli Ketu Hongbatulu can bring the five Inner Khalkha tribes to the current situation."

This situation is not easy, and he can decisively support Lord Zasai in taking charge of the five Inner Khalkha tribes. He is also a wise man. This is not Feng's flattery to Lord Zasai. Lord Zasai can make the five tribes in Inner Khalkha in power.

Chahar and Jianzhou Jurchen maintain an independent status, maximizing the interests of the five inner Khalkha tribes, which is difficult for non-smart people to achieve."

The words "independence and maximization of interests" spoke to Zai Sai's heart, and made Zai Sai's eyes shine even more brightly, "Master Feng is overly complimentary."

"Haha, Sir Zaisai, there is no need to be modest. I have always said one thing and another thing. If it's good, it's good. If it's not good, it's not good." Feng Ziying said calmly: "The five divisions of Inner Khalkha have reached the point where they are today. It can no longer be simple.

If you are no longer obsessed with immediate interests, you really need to think carefully about the future direction."

Feng Ziying's words made Zai Sai and the man behind him look taller than Ling Tu and the three people he killed.

"I would like to hear the details." Zasai pondered for a moment, but then dropped another sentence. This was also what the Han scholar taught him many years ago. It is suitable for speaking modestly when asking others for advice.

Feng Ziying also thought about it for a while, and then said: "How about this, I ask a few questions, Master Zaisai doesn't have to answer them, but don't lie."

Zaisai was stunned, but still nodded, "Okay."

"Master Zasai, what do you think of the comparison between the five tribes of Inner Khalkha and the Chahar people and the Jianzhou Nvzhen?"

"It's better." Zaisai said without hesitation.

"In what aspects is it inferior?" Feng Ziying asked politely: "Compared with the Chahar people, where is it inferior, and compared with the Jianzhou Nvzhen, how is it inferior? Why?"

This issue is a bit complicated. Although people in the tribe have usually discussed the strength gap with the Chahar people and Jianzhou Jurchens, in addition to the population gap, what other aspects are there? And the question why Feng Ziying finally raised is very

It’s a test of comparison.

Naturally, Zaisai was unwilling to answer this question hastily, nor was he willing to hesitate to answer the second question, which could easily be looked down upon by the other party.

After a long time, Zaisai slowly said: "How do you describe the gap with the Chahar people? It's more complicated. Legally speaking, the ancestors of Lindan Batur and the ancestors of the five leaders of our Inner Khalkha tribes are both Mandu

The descendants of Haihatun are all from the lineage of Dayan Khan. The ancestors of Chahar are the eldest and we are the youngest. We are different from Outer Khalkha. Their ancestors are descendants of Sumilhatun, but there are no such things like this on the grassland

Sometimes inheritance is important, sometimes not so important, otherwise there would be no story about Oirat’s Grand Master Ye Xian sweeping across the entire grassland..."

"The population of Chahar is larger than that of Inner Khalkha, and the location of Chahar is also better..."

"Wait a minute, let me excuse you. What does Master Zaisai say about the better position of the Chahar tribe? In what aspects is it reflected?" Feng Ziying asked calmly.

Zaisai was stunned for a moment, then nodded as if he had some understanding: "The Chahar tribe is located further south, and the pastures and water plants are richer, but this is not the most important thing. The more important thing is that it is close to the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and is close to the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The bordering areas from Liaodong to Shanxi can trade with each other, and the Great Zhou values ​​them more, and they can get more things from the Great Zhou, so..."

Feng Ziying also nodded, "Is there anything else?"

Zaisai hesitated for a moment, "The population of the tribe, as well as the number of craftsmen, merchants, and farmers in the tribe all determine the strength of the tribe. In this regard, the Chahar people are stronger than us..."

"Because those craftsmen, merchants and farmers can allow you to obtain more stable and more food, weapons, copper and iron materials, armor, salt, tea, cloth and silk?" Feng Ziying continued, "If these things are more abundant, you

The tribe’s population will be larger, its warriors will be more elite, and its combat effectiveness will be stronger?”

"Yes." Zasai took a deep breath. He had already realized why the other party asked these questions. He wanted to point out why these gaps appeared between Chahar and Outer Khalkha, and what were the root causes?

"How do the Jianzhou Jurchens compare with you?" Feng Ziying was not self-conscious and changed the topic to the Jianzhou Jurchens.

Zaisai hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "The gap between the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Chahar people is even greater..."

Feng Ziying interrupted the other party again: "What about the Jurchens in Jianzhou and your Nekar-Kabi forty years ago?"

Zai Sai's whole body was shaken, and he said after a long time: "The Jurchen who founded the state forty years ago is not worth mentioning."

"Then why forty years after the founding of the state Jurchen people, even the Chahar people are in awe of them?" Feng Ziying asked again with a heartfelt heart.
