It's not that it's not worth it, but at this time, Zhu Ying came in person and already had a great advantage.
Because everyone knows that there has always been discord between the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty and King Yan.
Zhu Ying even understood that just by arriving, he put a lot of pressure on the grassland.
"I can't bear the suffering of the people on the grassland, but the food of the Ming Dynasty was not brought by strong winds."
"Of course I can't give it away for free, but we can exchange it."
"Let's just treat it as the first trade after the embargo is lifted."
Zhu Ying's calm tone was filled with unquestionable majesty.
In fact, without the intelligence of the Black Land, the situation would not be like this now. At the beginning, Zhu Ying's purpose was to make the grassland, which was united under high pressure, lose its goal and direction.
In the end, turmoil was triggered, all chaos arose, and the strategy of overthrowing the Northern Yuan Dynasty was achieved.
From the current point of view, it is a relatively unified grassland, which is more in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course Beiyuan does not want to agree to such conditions.
What they want is not just a little bit.
Besides, in the current Beiyuan Dynasty, there is no such a large amount of money to buy Ming Dynasty grain. The price is also a huge astronomical figure.
Not only food, but also refined salt, medicinal materials, and tea are necessities for the grassland.
Not to mention anything else, just to capture Yan King Zhu Di alive, five thousand Mongolian cavalry were lost.
It seems that five thousand cavalry is not too much for Beiyuan.
However, in fact, five thousand cavalry are already an extremely powerful force on the grassland.
Bei Yuan is known as one hundred thousand cavalry. In fact, these one hundred thousand cavalry can be said to be the most young and strong in the entire Bei Yuan. This is a number that can only be achieved if all the people are armed.
If there were as many households as in the Ming Dynasty supporting a horse, it would probably be extremely difficult to raise 50,000 horses.
After spending such a huge price, the Yan King Zhu Di who was finally captured alive was simply exchanged for the lifting of the embargo?
How can you be willing to do this?
Khartaj immediately signaled his veteran Ou Anmin to speak.
Ou Anmin was also unambiguous and immediately bowed: "Your Highness, we"
"presumptuous!!!"
Zhu Ying suddenly shouted loudly, which instantly made Ou Anmin tremble.
Then he looked down on Ou Anmin and scolded: "Whenever I speak, there is no place for you to interrupt. Whatever your status is, you are worthy of bargaining with me."
Then he turned to Khartaj and said: "I came to the grassland in person this time, so naturally I came here with sincerity."
"It's just this conversation that makes me very disappointed."
"Or do you think that I am just the grandson of the Ming Dynasty and has not yet succeeded to the throne, so you should frequently despise me and allow such a traitor to talk to me, just to disgust me."
"Today's conversation ends here. I will wait here for two days. If I don't see you, Emperor Beiyuan, there will be no need to continue talking about this matter."
After that, Zhu Ying stood up and left without giving Bei Yuan any chance to react.
Naturally, the ministers of the Ming Dynasty followed closely, leaving the Beiyuan side looking at each other.
Ou Anmin, who felt that he was in a peaceful state of mind, was looking livid at the moment.
He didn't expect that the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty would be so disrespectful and reprimand him directly in person. No matter what he said, he was well-known in the circle of scholars.
Khaltaj's face didn't look very good either.
Although he didn't explicitly say anything about him, asking Elbek to come over clearly meant that he was not qualified.
"I'm sending an order to inform your majesty immediately as quickly as possible that the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty is here in person. Please come and have a detailed discussion with your majesty."
Khaltaj seemed to say this through gritted teeth.
In the silent tent, there was some noise.
Daming Military Camp.
Zhu Ying is naturally in the central tent.
Compared with the large tent in the grassland, it is much more spacious and refined.
This is because I don’t even know that His Highness Taisun will come in person, otherwise it would be at the palace level at least.
Zhu Ying is not so particular.
In the big tent, in addition to civil servants such as Qi Tai, the commanders of dozens of border guards and the four commanders were also present.
Outside the tent was guarded by Zhu Ying's Xuanjia Guards.
Except for Qitai below.
They are Zhang Yi, the Marquis of Heqing, Zhang Wen, the Marquis of Huining, Cao Xing, the Marquis of Huaiyuan, and Xie Cheng, the Marquis of Yongping.
These are all veterans who can really stand on their own, and they are also ruthless people who have followed Lao Zhu all the way and fought bloody battles.
At the same time, he is also a core veteran figure in the Huaixi Xungui Group.
Currently, the four of them command an army of 100,000 men, each with nearly 20 guards and commanders under them.
It can be said that the entire border depends on them for defense.
Of course, although it was very glorious, the original ending was not very good. Almost all of them were implicated and killed because of the Lan Yu case.
Among them, Yongping Hou Xie Cheng, who was considered a relative of the emperor, was also implicated and killed in the second year after the Lan Yu case broke out, and his land and house were confiscated.
It is worth mentioning that the princess Xie of the crown prince Zhu Jixi was the daughter of Xie Cheng, the Marquis of Yongping.
At this moment, Zhu Ying was sitting high up, and below him, whether it was the four princes or other commanders, they were all sitting upright, with solemn expressions on their faces, not daring to make the slightest move.
It's not that Zhu Ying looks domineering or has any royal demeanor, but the scene when Zhu Ying entered the camp just now is still deeply engraved in their minds and they can't get rid of it.
Even Zhu Ying himself did not expect that he would have such a high prestige in the hearts of the soldiers.
When Zhu Ying came back from the negotiation camp, the soldiers naturally called out: "His Royal Highness Taisun has arrived!"
At that time, all the soldiers on duty who heard this voice immediately knelt on one knee and shouted loudly: "Welcome to His Highness the Grand Sun!!!"
When the first sound rang out, all the soldiers who heard the sound.
No matter what he is doing.
Either patrolling, keeping watch, walking around, setting up camp, cooking, or training.
Without exception, they all knelt down on one knee in the direction of the sound, lowered their heads respectfully, used all their strength, and roared loudly to greet His Highness the Grand Sun.
Just like that, as the sound continued to spread, all the soldiers kept repeating it.
According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, it must be repeated three times before it is over.
Because of the distance, the shouts continued one after another, like a huge wave, rising one after another.
Four hundred thousand troops!!!
The 400,000 troops shouted hysterically.
Still in an open place like the grassland.
The white clouds were dispersed, the ground was shaken, and the cattle and horses were frightened.
The whole world is full of voices greeting His Highness the Grand Sun.
Even the Beiyuan army ten miles away could still hear it very clearly.
This kind of power was not created; everyone could hear the sincerity in the soldiers' voices, their blazing faith, and their terrifying morale.
Just a mere appearance made all the border officers and soldiers full of momentum.
Horrible, too scary.
This is the morale of the people and the morale of the military.
Zhu Ying had lived in the capital area for a long time, and he didn't know what the things he did for the soldiers of the garrison really meant.
He didn't know that when he was constantly restructuring the army's rules and regulations, making changes for the soldiers' food, drink, and funeral arrangements.
Many soldiers were moved to tears when they heard the news.
In the dark night, how many soldiers quietly used the sharp blades in their hands to carve on the wooden blocks that were stolen during the day, and carved the immortal tablet for His Highness Taisun stroke by stroke.
How many soldiers have received letters home from relatives far away because of His Highness the Grand Sun?
Every word in that book uses the simplest and most sincere words to praise the goodness of His Highness Taisun.
From ancient times to the present, when would there be such a king who would put his thoughts on Qiu Ba like them?
People's hearts are always mutual.
When Zhu Ying was doing these things, he didn't think too much about it. He just felt that the treatment of soldiers today was too poor and their lives were too hard.
As a national sword, of course it needs to be wiped clean.
But these seemingly inconspicuous things made all the soldiers remember them deeply in their hearts.
They have nothing to repay His Highness the Grand Sun.
This time, I suddenly heard His Royal Highness Taisun approaching the border and heard the unbelievable sound of greetings. I could only use all my strength to shout the loudest voice to convey my truest emotions.
That's why there was such a shocking scene.
These shouts made the soldiers of Beiyuan tremble with fear.
For the first time, they felt what fear was without even meeting a person.
If such a grandson of the Ming Dynasty personally commanded the army, what kind of terrifying fighting power would the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty unleash?
Everything in front of you will be completely destroyed.
Khartaj stood in front of the big tent, looking deeply into the direction where the sound came from.
The face of the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty came to mind.
That clean and delicate appearance gradually merged with the appearance of his ancestor Genghis Khan.
Perhaps the ancestor Genghis Khan back then was just like the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty today, with enough power to shock the world.
For the first time, he felt his own fear.
Therefore, under such circumstances, it is the proud general, the commander of the guard station who has made achievements, and the minister who is proud of his heart.
When facing His Highness Taisun in the big tent, all the water chestnuts were completely smoothed away.
They knew very well that as long as the very young His Highness the Grand Sun gave an order, anyone would be torn into pieces by the soldiers without causing any trouble.
"Don't be so nervous, everyone, it will make me look like a murderous ghost."
"I often look at myself in the mirror, and I don't look that scary."
Zhu Ying's chuckle sounded in the big tent, which relaxed many people's tense nerves a little.
But I still don't dare to laugh, it's been suppressed too much.
Especially the four princes.
As the first person to follow His Majesty Hongwu all the way to the battlefield, he could talk and laugh even in front of His Majesty, but in front of His Majesty the Grandson, who was obviously just a junior, he did not dare to go beyond the mark.
The achievements and status they were so proud of seemed to have no effect at all.
Zhu Ying was also helpless.
Initially, I felt that the scene was a bit cold, so I wanted to make a cold joke to lighten the atmosphere.
As a result, the atmosphere seems to be colder now.
Forget it, give up and get to the point.
"Thank you."
"The end will be here."
Zhu Ying just shouted, and Xie Cheng immediately jumped up, his body was like a frightened cat, and he knelt down on one knee and replied.
He was already in his fifties, his temples were turning white, but he was as nervous as a child facing a teacher in front of Zhu Ying.
"Get up and answer. Don't be so restrained. Speaking of which, your son-in-law is still my brother."
"You should first tell me about the current situation in the military camp, such as food and grass logistics, soldier training, and the mood of the expedition."
When he first arrived at the camp, Zhu Ying naturally wanted to understand the situation in the camp.
This is an army of 400,000. No matter placed at any time or anywhere, it is a powerful force that cannot be ignored.
The total population of some small countries is not so large.
Only the Ming Dynasty, with its vast territory, could raise so many soldiers.
Yongping Hou Xie Cheng took a breath and began to describe the situation and layout of the camp.
His tone of voice started out nervous and stuttering, but then slowly began to become more natural.
The atmosphere in the big tent also gradually relaxed.
After Xie Cheng's introduction, Zhu Ying had a general understanding.
Every aspect of the life of a 400,000-strong army requires extreme attention. A small detail may have a big impact.
Especially in terms of logistics arrangements, grain and grass transportation is a top priority.
Because almost most of the war horses at the border have been transferred to the grassland military base, the only animal power now is ox carts and some rogue horses.
The infantry's movement on the grassland is very slow. Compared with the highly mobile cavalry, it is like a turtle crawling.
A 400,000-strong army sounds scary, but in fact, according to the current regulations of the Ming Dynasty, less than 30% of them are auxiliary troops.
The stipulation is that there must be twenty-three soldiers out of a hundred people. Generally speaking, this ratio has not been reached, but as a border crossing, it is very close.
Calculated, in the 400,000-strong army, there are actually less than 100,000 actual soldiers.
The remaining 300,000 people basically serve these 100,000 soldiers.
Of course, these auxiliary soldiers also have a certain degree of combat effectiveness. They are not an atmosphere group in war. They themselves wear swords and undergo daily drills.
After listening to this, Zhu Ying thought for a moment and clicked on a few details for Xie Cheng and other commanders to pay more attention to, and then it was all in place.
After all, the four princes have led the army for many years, and are extremely mature in all aspects, including military leadership and management, and will not make any major mistakes.
What is a pity in history is that most of these battle-hardened veterans died in the Lanyu case. This was also the key to the sharp decline in the combat effectiveness of the Ming army after Zhu Di seized the throne.
Zhu Di also had to personally conquer Mongolia five times, but failed to achieve a great victory. In the end, he died of illness in Yumuchuan on the way.
If these generals who are related to Lan Yu are here, things will become much simpler.
After giving the instructions, Zhu Ying's topic turned to Beiyuan Hanchen.
