Ilzamu looked at the rice bucket sitting on the tall horse, and thought to himself that the heads of the five thousand Jianluo prisoners might be fake, but the head of Aixinjueluo Amin could not be deceived. The Ming army must have won a victory.
A big win.
He originally secretly observed several forces in peacetime and felt that the Liaodong Jurchens, under the leadership of Huang Taiji, were becoming stronger day by day, outperforming the original giants, the Ming Empire and the Mongol Empire, so he thought about it.
Take refuge.
Unexpectedly, Ming Dynasty suddenly won a great victory. Is this a return to glory or a precursor to ZTE? Erzhamu couldn't make up his mind for a while.
"Where is Ma Xianglin?" Zhong Jinwei said loudly.
"The end will be here." Ma Xianglin turned around on his horse and responded loudly, clasping his fists.
"Mongolia made an undeclared war against our Ming Dynasty, poisoned the capital, and harmed the people of the Ming Dynasty. In this case, capture them all and escort them to the capital to accompany the Jianlu. If there is resistance, they will be killed without mercy!"
"I will obey your orders." Ma Xianglin replied loudly, then turned back and prepared to take action.
The voices of Zhong Jinwei and Ma Xianglin were very loud, and every Mongolian could hear them clearly.
At this time, even Ilzamu's face turned pale. The Marquis of the Ming Dynasty had been scrupulous from the beginning, and now characterized the behavior of Ao Han and other troops to enter the pass with the Jianlu as the order of the Mongol Khan, and it was the Mongol invasion of the Ming Dynasty.
country.[
Judging from the appearance of the Marquis, he was not joking at all. This territory in the Ming Dynasty happened to be under martial law, and with the three hundred spearmen in front of him, I was afraid that he could be dealt with, and there was no chance of escape.
He and Ezhe fell into a trap and died unjustly!
But before Ilzamu could speak, Ezhe was already shouting in panic: "Wait, wait, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"
In fact, Zhong Jinwei knew the situation in the Mongolian grasslands and knew that the Mongolian tribes that invaded the capital were no longer under the jurisdiction of Lin Dan Khan.
Zhong Jinwei did this series of things firstly to combat the arrogance of these Mongols, and secondly to implement the steps agreed upon with Emperor Chongzhen.
Therefore, Zhong Jinwei's threats were louder than thunder but light on rain.
Even so, his unconventional behavior made E Zhe believe it was true, so he was very frightened.
When Zhong Jinwei saw Ezhe starting to beg for mercy, he shouted with a cold face: "What's the misunderstanding?"
As soon as Ma Xianglin heard Zhong Jinwei's answer, he made no next move. He just stared at the Mongolians opposite. As if looking at the fish on the chopping board, he chose which one to chop first.
E Zhe saw that the Ming army on the opposite side was still rational and did not take any further action after hearing his words. He felt a little relieved. He wiped his forehead from the sweat and quickly explained: "It's really a misunderstanding. Just now
I remember wrongly. Those Mongolian tribes who followed the Liaodong Jurchens, ah, no, followed the Jianlu invaders and invaded the Ming Dynasty actually had not listened to my father Khan's orders for a long time. My father Khan even fought with several of their tribes."
"So, those Mongolian tribes and Lin Dan Khan are enemies rather than friends?" Zhong Jinwei's face looked better and his tone became more relaxed.
"Yes, yes, we are enemies, not friends. When I go back and report this to my father, I will definitely seek justice for the people of the Ming Dynasty." In order to eliminate Zhong Jinwei's hostility, Ezhe casually promised something that was obviously impossible.
.
After hearing this, Zhong Jinwei stretched out his palm and pressed forward, suppressing E Zhe's last words, and then said to E Zhe: "In this case, there is no need for Lin Dan Khan to invade our land of the Ming Dynasty and become the enemy of the Ming Dynasty.
You must pay the price. Those who offend our Ming Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away they are. This is the case with these Mongolian tribes, and the same is true with the Liaodong captives. Just watch. If tigers don’t show their power, just think of us as sick cats."
Ezhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his father Khan did not have to go to the Ming Dynasty to give an explanation. His father Khan was driven to the current Chahar border by Jianlu and the group of Mongolian brothers who took refuge there.
Spare time to find trouble for others.
"Okay, then let Ming attack them. You must give them some color." E Zhe replied flatteringly.
Ilzamu shook his head secretly after hearing this. What Ezhe said was equivalent to asking the Ming Dynasty to fight the Mongolian tribes, and Lin Dan Khan would not intervene. In this way, the Mongolians would only think that Lin Dan Khan was even less worthy of being the Great Khan of Mongolia.
, there will be fewer tribes who obey Lin Dan Khan’s orders in the future.[
"I also said just now that you should treat your friends with the warmth of spring. Your tribe is the friend of the Ming Dynasty. I understand you correctly, right?" A smile suddenly appeared on Zhong Jinwei's face and he said to E Zhe.
When E Zhe heard this, he nodded repeatedly: "That's right, of course it is. A few years ago, my father Khan helped the Ming Dynasty fight against Jianlu."
"That's good. I, the Ming Emperor, have allowed the expansion of mutual trade between Zhangjiakou and Mongolian friends. Except for a very few commodities, all commodities will be open to the public, and the scale will be far greater than it is now. In addition, the road from Zhangjiakou to the capital will be rebuilt, and the goods will be
Transport will no longer be affected by the rainy season and trade will be possible all year round."
As soon as Zhong Jinwei said these words, everyone except Ma Xianglin was shocked.
The Ming Dynasty has always restricted trade between the Central Plains and the grasslands to restrict the development of the grassland peoples. Now these mutual trades were only achieved through wars during the Jiajing and Longqing years.
As soon as Zhong Jinwei said these words, it was tantamount to saying that the Ming Dynasty's policy had made a U-turn. It was a good thing for Zhangjiakou and Mongolia.
Therefore, whether it was Kong Fang, Ezhe or Erzhamu, they were very excited. Especially Ezhe, thinking that if he brought this news back to the grassland, he would take the credit for it after some publicity.
, then his prestige in the grassland will undoubtedly be greater than that of his father who has been defeated in a row.
In this way, I might be able to inherit the throne in advance and let my father Khan take care of him in his old age.
As he was thinking about it, Ezhe became excited, completely forgetting that he had broken into a cold sweat just now. He flattered Zhong Jinwei and said, "I wonder what your country requires of Mongolia? I will try my best to facilitate it."
Ilzamu frowned after hearing this. This is a good thing, but if you are so impatient, what should you do if the other party imposes conditions?
"Someone will talk to you about the specific matters later, but there are two main points." Zhong Jinwei said as he asked Ma Xianglin to withdraw the White Army. Now he is forcing the opponent with a gun, which somewhat affects the atmosphere.
"Please tell me, what are the two points?" Ezhe urged the horse to take a few steps forward so as not to hear clearly.
"First, those who can trade must be friends of Ming Dynasty."
"Yes, yes, we are friends of Ming Dynasty." Upon hearing this, Ezhe felt that it was not a problem at all and quickly expressed his position.
"Second, anyone who comes to Zhangjiakou to trade must pay a certain amount to the court for the goods they bring. In other words, any goods must be taxed. Basically, it is thirty tax per one, and there will be an increase or decrease according to different types of goods.
Tax rate. In addition, Ao Lachi will be cancelled, and it will be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court."
E Zhe only wanted to take the credit for expanding the mutual market in his own hands, and was afraid of losing this opportunity by bargaining. Therefore, as soon as Zhong Jinwei said it, he wanted to agree.
Unexpectedly, Ilzamu couldn't help but spoke before he spoke, and spoke first: "If we didn't collect taxes before, why should we collect taxes? Isn't this exploiting us Mongolians?"
In the past, when Mongolian tribes came to trade, it was managed by the Mongols themselves, and the Ming Dynasty also paid wages.
Now not only does Aolachi have to be abolished, but taxes are also imposed, which makes Ilzamu feel very unhappy.
Zhong Jinwei looked at this Mongolian. Although he was standing among the Mongolians, his clothes were obviously several grades higher than those around him, and he was protected by guards around him. He should be a tribal leader or something.
He didn't bother to guess his identity and asked directly: "Who are you?"
Ezhe was very dissatisfied that Erzamu interrupted his conversation with the Marquis of the Ming Army. In order to regain the topic, he answered for Erzamu: "His name is Erzamu, and he is one of the leaders of the four tribes in the northwest.
one."
In the original history of Zhong Jinwei, this Erzamu was also considered a visionary person. He defected to Huang Taiji at the end of 1630. After Lin Dan Khan died, he persuaded Ezhe to defect to Huang Taiji. He also sent troops to follow Jianlu to participate.
The Battle of Jinan brought a lot of benefits to his tribe from Jianlu and Ming Dynasty.
Zhong Jinwei had never heard of this name, so he didn't care. But since he brought it up, Zhong Jinwei explained to them: "In order to improve the lives of Mongolian friends, expand the horse market, and build roads, the Ming Dynasty all needed to
It cost a lot of money. Although our country, the Ming Dynasty, is said to be the richest in the world, natural disasters have continued in recent years and the harvest has been poor, so there are many places to spend money. The money collected from Mongolian friends is then spent on Mongolian friends. It can be said that
How can it be considered as exploiting Mongolian friends if it is used properly?"
After Zhong Jinwei finished speaking, seeing that Erzamu still wanted to argue, he said first: "Of course, if the Mongolian friends must think that this is exploitation, I can ask the Ming Emperor to cancel the mutual trade."
This is simply an unequal dialogue, because the Ming Dynasty could do without mutual trade, but the grassland peoples cannot do without mutual trade.
E Zhe was originally a fool. He wanted to show off but had no ability. He was soft-hearted and timid. He felt that what Zhong Jinwei said was reasonable. If it were him, he would definitely not be willing to use money to do good deeds for the other party, so he accepted
After listening to Zhong Jinwei’s words, he said: “It’s right for Ming Dynasty to collect some taxes, it’s right!”
Seeing that Ezhe had preemptively approved the Ming Dynasty's move to collect taxes, Ilzamu felt angry.
But once he saw that E Zhe was eager to promote this matter, if he objected again, he was afraid that E Zhe would take notice of him, which would be somewhat of a trouble.
Secondly, the tax is 30 per person. This tax is not high and it is still affordable.
Therefore, Irzamu did not argue anymore and accepted it as acquiescence.
Zhong Jinwei saw that the other two leaders no longer objected, and felt quite happy, so he said to Ezhe: "In this case, please inform Lin Dan Khan and other Mongolian tribes that the Ming Dynasty welcomes Mongolian friends, but it will not treat them
The enemy is soft."
If Mongolia was strong, they would not just talk about these two things on horseback, but would send envoys on a formal mission.
But now Mongolia is in disarray, and the nominal Mongol Khan has been forced to flee his capital. The diplomacy of a weak country can be regarded as a manifestation of this.
E Zhe didn't think there was anything wrong. He kept saying: "No problem, please don't worry, I will definitely report it to my father."
Zhong Jinwei saw that this man was very wise, so he said: "Since we are friends and not enemies, let's forget about the collision and beating of my Ming Dynasty martial law troops just now. You can take the man on the ground away."
