Chapter 738: See you on the battlefield if you dare to be stubborn
Ezhe stayed in Zhangjiakou for a few days. While waiting for the Ming Emperor's approval, he took Iribis, the first confidant of Wu Keshan of the Horqin tribe, to visit Zhangjiakou.
Seeing Iribis shocked by the huge changes in Zhangjiakou, Ezhe's heart was full of pride. He proved to his former enemies that he had a higher vision than them, and he defected to the Ming Dynasty early, only to enjoy the earth-shaking changes in the Ming Dynasty.
the benefits brought about.
Ezhe introduced the goods in various shops to Iribis, which opened the eyes of the frog in the well in this grassland. In the past few days, Ezhe seemed to have become an all-knowing sage, and Iribis
They were ignorant and had never been out of the house, and the comparison of their reactions made E Zhe extremely satisfied.
Iribisi did not pretend to be shocked just to please Ezhe. He had been to Zhangjiakou once before, but the current Zhangjiakou was completely different from the Zhangjiakou he remembered.
Not to mention so many goods that he had never seen before, even the smoothness and cleanliness of the shops and roads surprised him greatly.
A few days later, they received a notice from Emperor Chongzhen that they agreed to come to Beijing for an audience. When Iribis was walking on the cement road leading to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, he was impressed by the convenient cement road. Looking at the orderly
The motorcade and the passers-by walking on both sides all showed the vigorous vitality of the Ming Dynasty, showing that the national power of the Ming Dynasty was probably much higher than before.
On the morning of the second day after the group arrived in the capital, while Iribis was anxiously waiting for the summons of the Ming Emperor in Honglu Temple, a group of people suddenly came and passed Ezhe and Iribis to the reception room.
hall.
Iribisi did not dare to look around, lowered his head and followed Ezhe into the hall in a hurry.
Zhong Jinwei was sitting on the main seat, and Cao Wenzhao stood beside him, holding the handle of the sword in his left hand, staring at the two Mongolians who came through the door.
"Ah, Marquis Zhongxing, Xiao Wang pays homage to Marquis Zhongxing." After Ezhe entered the hall, he recognized that the person in the main seat of the hall was the Marquis Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty who had impressed him so much before. He quickly knelt down and saluted according to the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty.
I forgot that I don’t need to kneel down to show my identity.
When Iribis heard Ezhe's words, he was startled and quickly knelt down. It was this Zhongxinghou who beat Dajin to the point where he was unable to fight back, and several Heshuo Baylor also died in his hands.
"Everyone get up." A young voice sounded, giving people a kind feeling. This made Iribis a little surprised. In his impression, Zhongxing Hou should be a majestic old general who was decisive and ruthless.
.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis." Ezhe responded happily before standing up.
Zhong Jinwei didn't seem to see the person next to E Zhe. He just asked E Zhe: "I heard that you have been living a good life recently!"
"Thanks to the Marquis, Xiao Wang has made some money." Ezhe looked at the noble man he was destined for and replied flatteringly.
Zhong Jinwei nodded and said: "As long as you stay safe and obey the Ming Dynasty's rules, your Chahar life will only get better and better."
"Xiao Wang understands, Xiao Wang understands." E Zhe completely lost his pretense on the Mongolian grassland. As soon as Zhong Jinwei said this, he immediately responded in a low profile.
Zhong Jinwei was very satisfied with Ezhe's attitude and reminded him: "The Ming Dynasty will always need leather goods, beef and mutton. If you provide more to the Ming Dynasty, you can make more money. Otherwise, the Ming Dynasty will not need these things when the Ming Dynasty comes.
It will only rot in your own hands."
"Yes, yes, Xiao Wang understands." Ezhe nodded repeatedly.
At this time, Zhong Jinwei noticed that Iribis next to Ezhe was peeking at him. He pretended not to see it and said to Ezhe in a slightly more serious tone: "But you have to be kind in doing business. If you want these while Ming Dynasty is taking advantage of
When buying things, if you increase the price arbitrarily, you will naturally retaliate in kind, and black-hearted people will not have good results. Do you understand this? "
When Zhong Jinwei said this, he bit hard on the word "tit for tat", which surprised Ezhe, and he dared not express his position again and again.
After Ezhe heard this, the words "blood for blood" appeared in his mind. He thought of his tribe and Dajin who were massacred by the Ming army in revenge after they invaded the pass. He couldn't help but secretly regret it. If he had known that today,
Even if he had a falling out with Dajin, he would not dare to enter the detention center.
When Zhong Jinwei said this, he stopped talking to Ezhe and just looked at Iribis.
When E Zhe on the side saw him, he quickly introduced him: "Master Marquis, this is the messenger of the Horqin tribe."
Then he repeated the identity of Iribis and the purpose of his arrival, although this situation had been reported before he came.
Seeing that it was finally his turn, Iribis quickly knelt down again, lowered his head and said: "The villain Iribis came to make peace on behalf of the Horqin tribe and is willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty."
"You, Horqin, have been collaborating with Jianlu, acting as Jianlu's thugs, and killing so many people in our Ming Dynasty. How can you just say that you surrender?"
When Iribisi heard the voice of Marquis Zhongxing, his voice became obviously cold, and he quickly explained: "Master Marquis, please calm down. It was all the fault of the original King Darhan. He wanted to form an alliance with Dajin... and Jianlu. Little people.
In fact, they are all unwilling!”
"Hahaha..." Zhong Jinwei heard a burst of laughter, which made Iribisi's heart tremble. Only then did he hear Zhong Jinwei continue: "Are you thinking of coming to join the Ming Dynasty because you saw that the Ming Dynasty was about to destroy Jianlu?
"
Although this is the truth, telling it directly would damage the reputation of the Horqin tribe and would not be conducive to subsequent negotiations. Therefore, Iribis lowered his head and said: "The Marquis is joking. There are hundreds of thousands of Jianlu soldiers. Although there are
He was defeated by the Ming Dynasty, but his strength was not lost..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhong Jinwei: "In that case, we'll see you on the battlefield."
After saying that, Zhong Jinwei stood up and left directly.
Hearing the confident words of Marquis Zhongxing and seeing how he left as soon as he asked without following common sense, Iribis became anxious.
If it weren't for the urgency, he wouldn't have been sent to negotiate peace with the enemies who massacred their Horqin tribe in the past. At this time, he couldn't care about anything else, and quickly said loudly: "Master Marquis, please stay, Iribis is wrong, Jianlu
It is indeed the end of the world.”
Zhong Jinwei happened to walk in front of Iribis. When he heard his urgent and somewhat panicked voice, he stopped, looked down at him, and said majestically: "If the Horqin tribe wants to avoid being exterminated, they can only surrender unconditionally and obey
My Ming Dynasty’s arrangement. Apart from this, there is no other way out.”
Iribis slowly raised his head, his face a little pale. Seeing Zhong Jinwei's non-negotiable expression, he hesitated for a while, and finally lowered his head and surrendered: "We, the Horqin tribe, are willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty unconditionally!"
His final bottom line in coming to the Ming Dynasty was to preserve the Horqin clan.
When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he smiled in his heart and just surrendered. After all, the Horqin tribe still has tens of thousands of troops, and they are all cavalry. It can be separated from the Jianlu camp and it can also reduce the difficulty of next year's war.
And the Mongolian cavalry will still use it in the future.
"Then how can I trust the sincerity of your Horqin tribe?" Zhong Jinwei asked.
