At Zhenyuan Pass, Hu Yongning, the official in charge of the pass, could not help but look at Fan Chong quietly.
The emperor's grandson didn't have any edicts to send.
Fan Shaoqing was trying to deceive Mahamu.
Hu Yongning turned his eyes and stopped the servant who was about to walk in from the outside carrying tea sets and teapots. He took the tray from the other person's hand and went to the seat where Mahamu started.
While pouring tea into the tea cup, Hu Yongning said to Mahamu: "Please be patient, Sir. We were just listening to Taisun's order, so we wasted a little time. Sir, please use it."
Tea."
As he spoke, Hu Yongning had already pushed a cup of tea to Mahamu's hand.
Then, he poured another cup of tea and brought it to Fan Chong who was sitting above him.
When Hu Yongning turned his back to Mahamu and faced Fan Chong.
He winked at Fan Chong.
Fan Chong understood and nodded secretly.
He has always resorted to all possible means to seek matters between the two countries.
Fan Chong swore that he learned this from Sun Tzu's Art of War left by his ancestors in the Central Plains.
When Hu Yongning returned to the position where Ma Hemu started.
Fan Chong was already looking at Mahamu while holding the tea cup.
"The horse envoy is unaware that His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson of our dynasty has just won a great victory, the morale of the army is high, and many matters are still being sorted out.
If not, His Highness will definitely come to Zhenyuan Pass in person through the snow, and discuss with the horse envoys the mutual trade between you and us, and establish a mutually friendly relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Oara tribe, so as to jointly defeat the ambitious Tatar tribe."
The news about Shanxi Road is currently only known to the imperial court and surrounding areas.
No one knows about border pass places like Zhenyuan Pass.
A little curiosity appeared on Mahamu's face, and he saw Fan Chong looking at him with that smile that always disgusted him, holding a tea cup in his hand and gesturing for him to drink tea with him.
He could only pick up the teacup sideways and take a sip of tea.
Then Mahamu finally asked: "I wonder what kind of victory your country's grandson has achieved?"
Fan Chong smiled and waved his hand casually: "To say it is a great victory is just what we, as ministers, are saying. To His Highness Taisun, it is just the annihilation of a group of Tatars and the general
The son of that one named Tai was surrendered and has since come under my rule, the Ming Dynasty."
Fan Chong acted very casually, but Mahamu's eyes lit up.
He immediately put down the teacup and clasped his hands on the armrests.
"But Arutai?"
Fan Chong rolled his eyes, with a hint of realization on his face, and nodded: "It seems that he is such a person, but he is dead now. His son has joined my court."
Arutai actually died.
Mahamu felt a little dazed.
Since then, the Yuan Dynasty has withdrawn from the Central Plains. Over the years, it has been suppressed by the Ming court and gradually fell apart.
Over the years, the Tatar tribe has always regarded itself as the Yuan Dynasty orthodoxy, but the Oara tribe is very weak and can only give up the large tracts of good pasture and retreat all the way to the northwest side of the grassland.
In the Tatar tribe, Arutai is not the strongest force, but it is the one that Mahamu believes has the most potential.
In Mahamu's plan, once he becomes the co-leader of the Oara tribe in the future, Arutai of the Tatar tribe will be his biggest enemy on the grassland.
But he never thought that Arutai would have died in Akito's hands.
And his son actually surrendered to the Ming court.
Fan Chong turned the tea cup in his hand, taking a sip from time to time, and looked at Mahamu who was deep in thought with a faint look.
Naturally, he would not say that Arutai was stabbed to death from behind by his son in front of the emperor's grandson.
Hu Yongning immediately cooperated.
He coughed softly, as if he was talking about some gossip, with a hint of envy in his frivolous tone: "On the contrary, I am going to have a successful career. If the official's guess is correct, given time, the court will
If you want to canonize him, he must be a prince by then."
After finishing speaking, Hu Yongning deliberately raised his voice, as if he wanted to pour all his words into the ears of Mahamu next to him.
"This is all customary!"
Fan Chong also took over the words without a pause: "Prince? The kind who has fame but no power?"
As the two of them were talking face to face, Mahamu's eyes had quietly turned to Hu Yongning beside him.
Hu Yongning immediately shook his head.
"Now that the imperial court is employing people, there will never be peace outside the customs..."
When Hu Yongning said this, he stopped and looked sideways at Mahamu, who was on his upper hand.
Mahamu immediately coughed slightly, lowered his head and picked up the tea cup that he had placed on the table.
While drinking tea, he did not forget to stare at Hu Yongning with his peripheral vision.
Hu Yongning said with a smile: "The Alutai tribe is also very powerful. If this operation is done properly, then I can only bring half of his father's tribe...
His Highness will definitely arrange a good pasture for him near the pass. In addition, in order to conquer the Tatar tribe, the imperial court may also set up several new guards and horses under his command.
The official estimates that they can be compared with the three guards of Wuliangha. When the court sends out ordnance and conquers the outside world, Abu's people will be a great help to our government."
Mahamu's eyes were already blurry.
What pastures, what defenses, what equipment and weapons.
Aren't all these good things that I wanted to get from Ming Ting?
God knows, after Arutai died, his son could get all this so easily.
At this moment, Mahamu suddenly wanted to cry.
I have tried my best to leave Oarabe for half a year, and I have been trapped in Zhenyuan Pass for a month or two. So far, there has been no progress in the negotiations.
It's fine if you don't compare, but once people start comparing themselves to each other, it can really make people mad.
By this time, Mahamu could no longer listen to the rest of the discussion between Fan Chong and Hu Yongning.
Until Fan Chong looked faintly at Mahamu, who had already lost consciousness.
He shouted loudly: "Horse messenger? Horse messenger!"
Mahamu's neck moved slightly and he turned his head to look at Fan Chong in the main seat.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! A rare smile appeared on his face.
"What important matter does Fan Shaoqing call me to explain?"
Fan Chong showed great posture, folded his hands and bowed towards the southeast.
"I don't know what the envoy is. Thanks to your majesty and your highness, I am working hard to manage it now. No, the edict sent by His Highness Taisun this time has given me great news. Our mutual trading thing is probably
We can go to the next level.”
This was the thing that most excited Mahamu.
He immediately said: "What's the matter?"
Seeing Mahamu's emotional reaction, I knew that the other party had taken the bait.
At this time, Fan Chong was not in a hurry.
He was seen leisurely holding the tea cup and slowly said: "Your Highness has spoken this time. I am sincere in my desire to establish a good relationship with Wala.
At present, outside the customs, the Tatar tribe is doing many evil things and has no human heart. It is the time for our country to join hands with the Oara tribe to fight against it.
This is a time when we are united in our will. If the Oara tribe really wants to join hands, the Ming Dynasty can transfer more truth to Oara."
Mahamu swears.
When I look at this Fanchong in front of me now, for the first time in my life, I feel that this person is somewhat cute.
That smile that used to displease him now fell in his eyes, and he felt extraordinarily sincere and friendly.
"Wala and Daming will be friends forever!"
Mahamu stood up and slapped his chest heavily with the palm of his right hand.
Fan Chong also stood up and walked to Mahamu. The two of them seemed to have forgotten their past rift at the same time.
Fan Chong reached out his hand and patted Mahamu on the shoulder with great enthusiasm, pushing him back to his seat.
And he said with a smile on his face: "Tai Sun's decree is very clear this time. As long as the horse is willing, the grassland under the Helan Mountain and the grassland on the Ujia River can be used by the tribal herdsmen of the horse to come in and graze.
settle down.
If the horse envoy can speak in the Wala tribe, it is not impossible for the Ming Dynasty to set up three more guards and horses here..."
In the end, Fan Chong spoke very vaguely, just like those real Ming officials.
Hu Yongning stood up knowingly and stepped aside.
Fan Chong took the opportunity to sit in Hu Yongning's original seat, but he did not forget to hold Mahamu's arm.
"Ma Shi, did you understand what I said? As long as Ma Shi is willing, Daming is willing to have a good relationship with Ma Shi."
After Fan Chong finished speaking, he closed his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on Mahamu, his eyes were deep and full of meaning.
Mahamu's mind was racing rapidly.
He understood the deep meaning behind the words of this Ming friend.
Daming is trying to win over himself.
Rather than forming good cooperation with the Oara tribe, Ming Dynasty seems to be more willing to win over himself and let himself and Arutai's son Ab only join the Ming Dynasty.
Mahamu admitted that the conditions offered by Daming were very attractive.
The prince of the Ming Dynasty has his own troops and horses equipped with the weapons of the Ming Dynasty.
The fertile pastures and the Ming Dynasty's seemingly endless supply of food.
All this gave Mahamu a great temptation.
However……
Mahamu still remembers that he is a citizen of Changshengtian and a warrior on the grassland.
Let yourself bow your head to the Ming Dynasty and bow your head?
Mahamuna's heart was full of expectations and temptation, but there was also a hint of repulsion.
How should you choose?
Mahamu never realized that one day he would face such a difficult choice.
What if he and Da Mingxu were in conflict with each other?
Just when Mahamu was wondering, how could he only want benefits and not fulfill his responsibilities?
Fan Chong has spoken again: "Thanks to Duke Liang, the Ming Dynasty's troops and horses in the Hexi Corridor have been training for the past two years. Wait until next year when the Ming Dynasty's generals who conquer the east and generals who conquer the south will return to the court and be crowned kings.
, that is, our government used troops in the northwest to recreate the grandeur of the Western Regions in the former Han and Tang Dynasties, and to exchange commerce and economic exchanges with the countries in the far west."
The Ming Dynasty wanted to recreate the pattern of the Western Regions in the Central Plains!
The depths of Mahamu's eyes shrank suddenly.
This is news that can shock all the forces in the northwest.
The Chinese people are terrible.
Mahamu had a profound understanding of the Central Plains people and never thought that the Central Plains people were just weak like other people on the grassland.
The bodies of the Central Plains people are weak, but they possess endless wisdom, and when they work together, they can always do things that originally seemed impossible.
Mahamu nodded slightly and said hesitantly: "The Ming Dynasty sent troops to the northwest..."
If the Ming Dynasty sent troops to the northwest, how could it be possible for the Ming Dynasty to sit back and watch as the Oara tribe north of the Tianshan Mountains entrenched itself?
Fan Chong nodded affirmatively: "When the Ming Dynasty sent troops to the northwest, it was natural to reopen the Western Region! And it is imperative!"
Hu Yongning stood aside and spoke with emphasis in his speech: "The Ming Dynasty will not only reopen the Western Regions, but will also far surpass the powerful Tang Dynasty and usher in the era of the Ming Dynasty!"
Mahamu was shocked, but quickly calmed down: "These things..."
Fan Chong glanced sideways at Mahamu: "Of course it was me, Your Highness, Taisun who made the decision. If I, Your Highness, Taisun, were still young, have I not accomplished any of the things I have been doing in the past few years? Your Highness.
If you want to reopen the Western Regions, it will be far more powerful than the Tang Dynasty, so it can definitely be done!"
Mahamu hesitated a little and fell silent.
Fan Chong and Hu Yongning looked at each other.
Finally, it was Fan Chong who spoke: "Horse Envoy."
Mahamu raised his head: "Fan Shaoqing?"
Fan Chong tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "Does the horseman know about Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan?"
Mahamu's expression condensed and his eyes narrowed.
There was a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.
Afterwards, Mahamu also folded his hands and bowed towards the north: "That is my Emperor Taizu of Dayuan, Emperor Shizu!"
Fan Chong continued to tap the table with his fingers, and said in a faint tone: "Does the horse envoy know that the two of them assigned the vassal state to Europa? It was because of the rule of the former Yuan Dynasty that Europa was able to develop."
In the early years of the Yuan Dynasty, the emperor's son was enfeoffed to Europe.
Although this incident happened a long time ago, it is a magnificent story that every citizen of Changshengtian will never forget.
Mahamu nodded.
Fan Chong opened his arms, as if he was holding a huge continental plate in his arms.
"Our government is generous and benevolent. As long as Ma Shi truly makes friends with the Ming Dynasty and is willing to advance and retreat with the Ming Dynasty, there will be only one voice on the grassland."
"That's the horse messenger, who spreads the voice of Ming Dynasty on the grassland, even to Europe thousands of miles away!"
Mahamu's eyes widened.
Hu Yongning admitted that he originally thought Fan Shaoqing just wanted to deceive Mahamu, but he didn't know that he would dare to make such a huge promise.
The entire grassland and even the boundless land thousands of miles away to the west.
Fan Chong retracted his hands, stood up, and stared at Mahamu intently.
"Are the Horsemen hesitating and doubting that what I'm saying are all lies? Are they just to deceive the Horsemen and shed their blood for the Ming Dynasty?"
Mahamu raised his head but said nothing.
But the look in his eyes already gave the answer.
Fan Chong smiled, and under the gaze of Mahamu and Hu Yongning, he took out a folder from his arms.
"This is a folder used by my Ming Dynasty for secret memorials. It has always contained the most secret things of our dynasty."
As he spoke, Fan Chong opened the folder under Mahamu's nose.
"Mr. Ma, can you still recognize the seal of my imperial grandson on this?"
Mahamu also stood up at this moment.
In his sight, the piece of paper taken out of the folder was stamped with the large red seals of Sun Xi, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
