Iribisi's attitude was always respectful, even when asked by Magatal, it was the same: "When the Ming army attacked the city, tens of thousands of people from our Horqin tribe suddenly turned against them and attacked, maybe not only Huang Taiji's head, but also several others
Heshuo Baylor’s head can also be obtained.”
"Then what good can I, Chahar, do to help you contact the Ming army?" Magathal asked first after hearing this, lest Ezhe agree immediately and regret it.
Iribis obviously had an answer to this question, and he immediately replied: "If Chahar is willing to help me, the Horqin people, not only will it be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty and show the friendship between Chahar and the Ming Dynasty, but it will also
Obtain the allegiance of my Horqin clan. After this lesson, our Horqin clan will never betray the Golden Family, otherwise we will not be able to live forever."
When he said this, he turned to Ezhe and tempted him: "This matter can also prove to all the Mongolians on the grassland that King Khan is better than the blue. We, the Horqin tribe, do not obey Lin Dan Khan, but we only obey King Khan."
people."
Ezhe was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then laughed out loud with a very satisfied expression. As soon as Iribis saw it, he knew that his words had touched Ezhe's itch.
Magatal was speechless. In fact, Iribis' words just now revealed that the real reason why they wanted to change their flag was that they were afraid of being annihilated by the Ming army, which had nothing to do with Ezhe. However, he did not say it out loud.
Go and check Ezhe's interest.
After Ezhe had finished feeling proud, Magatal asked again: "Has Chahan approved this approach?"
"Of course, it was the result of the discussion between the eldest prince and the second prince that they sent me here." Iribis nodded and replied.
After Magatal asked all the questions he wanted to ask, he looked at Ezhe and waited for him to make his final decision.
"Okay, we are all Mongolians. I will help you with this." Ezhe said loudly with a smile on his face.
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Irbisi bent down and saluted: "Immortal God is above us. I, the Horqin tribe, will always surrender to King Chahar Ezhe Khan and will never betray him."
"Okay, I will reunify the Mongolian grassland and restore the glory of my golden family." Ezhe raised his head and dreamed proudly.
Iribis secretly despised it. You are a coward, and you only relied on the thighs of the Ming Dynasty to get where you are today. Even an individual can do this. Now you still want to achieve the glory of Genghis Khan. It’s really hard.
Don’t overestimate your capabilities!
However, no one exposed Ezhe's dream. There were only congratulations and flattery. Only in this way is it most beneficial to him. Loyalty is hard to hear, but it can only be said to broad-minded people who are willing to accept it. As for Ezhe
, no one thought he would be a broad-minded person.
"I have decided that for the sake of your Horqin tribe, I will go to Zhangjiakou today to ask for an audience with the Ming Emperor." After Ezhe said this, he thought about the prosperity of the capital he saw during the last audience meeting, and his heart flew away long ago.
As for the basis for the Horqin people to switch their allegiance to the Ming Dynasty, it is naturally not just a word, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would not believe it.
Although Ezhe did not ask, Iribis still took the initiative to explain to Ezhe, preparing to use actions to prove the determination of the Horqin people.
The next day, Ezhe took him and the fur goods to Zhangjiakou, and then asked to see Qin Yiming, the guard general of Zhangjiakou, and asked him to report to the Ming Emperor on his behalf and allow him to come to Beijing for an audience.
Soon, a messenger galloped out of Zhangjiakou and headed for the capital along the repaired cement road.
Within a few days, at the Dutch East India Company's Governor's Palace in Batavia, Southeast Asia, Governor Yan-Peterssen Kun was finally able to eat. During this time, his mood fluctuated greatly. He had a strong appetite for a while.
After a while, he stopped thinking about food and tea, which made the servants who were waiting for him very worried.
When he received the news that the fleet he sent out under the command of Putmans defeated Zheng Zhilong's entire army, he was very happy that he had made a wise decision and looked forward to the early news of trade with the Ming Dynasty.
, it is best to monopolize the business, then the financial resources will come rolling in.
The subsequent progress was all in line with expectations. At the same time, he also applauded Putmans for his boldness. He did not expect that such a large empire, which was strong on the outside and capable on the inside, would be so vulnerable.
But he immediately remembered that country on the Indian Ocean. Isn't it the same? They were so weak that they only needed a few muskets to make them surrender.
In addition to being excited, several indigenous maids in Indonesia enjoyed the rain and dew of this local emperor and had a great time.
However, Kun couldn't be happy for long when the news came that the fleet was almost wiped out. He still remembered the situation clearly. This bad news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking him so much that he couldn't even think about food and drink, and even lost his eyesight.
Several indigenous women were thrown into the barracks to vent their anger.
After he figured out the reason why Putmans' fleet was completely destroyed, he called him a stupid pig and even went ashore to fight the Ming army!
He completely forgot how happy he was when he received the news that the army had no fighting power, defeated many armies, and robbed many Ming towns.
Kun then lost a lot of hair over whether the men and horses at Da Yuan Base would be withdrawn. Until today, he received definite news that the country only talked about retaliation, but there was no movement at sea.
This made Kun feel relieved. It seemed that the Ming Kingdom was stronger on land, but it still had its own world on the sea.
Although many warships were lost, another batch of warships just arrived from the Netherlands headquarters, which made up for the previous losses.
Kun decided to send enough force to the senior officials, at least to the scale of smuggling Ming goods. In this incident, he also saw the power of Ming pirates. He decided to make good use of them and increase smuggling efforts.
First of all, he ensured that the profits handed over to the Dutch headquarters were not damaged, so that he could explain to the Dutch headquarters that he had suffered such a huge defeat. Of course, this responsibility had nothing to do with him, it was all the responsibility of that damn Putmans. If he didn't go ashore,
There would be no such defeat at all.
As for the Ming Dynasty's talk of attacking the big officials and even Batavia, Kun just took it as a joke. Without a powerful enough fleet, this was just a dream.
Kun decided to drive the British out of Southeast Asia completely, monopolize spices for himself, and then reconsider dealing with the Ming Dynasty after retaining profits.
He believed that with the strength of the Dutch fleet, he would learn from this lesson and not land again, so there would be no defeat.
Thinking of this, Kun walked to the wall on the left, looked at the power map of Southeast Asia, and suddenly decided to focus on Spain.
At home, the Netherlands is at war with Spain and resisting Spanish rule. No one in the Netherlands today feels that their future victory is unpredictable. It is only a matter of time before they win against the Spanish.
This gave the Dutch a strong psychological advantage when facing Spain. Kun had long coveted the Philippines. Before, he was worried about the monopoly of the Ming Dynasty. Now that he was frustrated, he planned to take out his anger on Spain in the Philippines.
Immediately, Kun focused his attention on Jiaozhi. If this place was designated as the Dutch sphere of influence, it would also be possible to increase Ming smuggling via land, which would obviously be a good idea.
Because of the butterfly effect, the Dutch set their sights on Cochin a few years earlier than originally planned.
