After this great victory, the people in the city have completely recognized the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
From this moment on, all Tehranites will proudly tell their descendants that we are the people of the Ming Dynasty!
The humiliation they once suffered has become history. From now on, no one will come to plunder their food and property, steal their women, and kill them like dogs.
The construction site in the new city is in full swing, and buildings are rising from the ground. The scene is spectacular.
Zhu Qizhen still did not dare to let down his guard, because Timur's army might invade the territory at any time.
The Ming army relied on crushing weapons and equipment to catch everyone off guard. However, if the opponent calmed down and seriously studied countermeasures, the war would probably reach a stalemate.
The biggest disadvantage on our side is ammunition supply. Since it is too far away from the mainland of Ming Dynasty, every bullet fired will result in one less bullet, and every cannonball fired will result in one less ammunition. With the temporary gunpowder workshop, we can rush to produce a batch of crude ammunition.
Make black powder and make some land mines, but there is nothing you can do about precision bullets and cannonballs.
This thing requires a high industrial foundation, and even in the Ming Dynasty, the annual output is extremely limited.
Zhu Qizhen stared at the map closely, thoughtfully.
The sound of horse hooves was heard outside the tent, and immediately after, Yuan Bin arrived in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, the other party is making big moves!"
Zhu Qizhen asked without raising his head, "Has Timur started to mobilize troops?"
"Exactly!"
Yuan Bin looked nervous and said: "Timur Khan Abu Saiza issued an edict to mobilize troops across the territory. Major cities such as Balihei, Samarkand, Herat and others have already begun operations!"
Zhu Qizhen found the corresponding location on the map and drew circles.
"It's obvious that the other party has never thought about living in harmony with Ming Dynasty. This battle is inevitable."
In fact, he had already been mentally prepared.
Because the entire Western Region occupies nearly half of the territory of the Timur Khanate, it is impossible for the other party to give it up obediently.
What's more, Herat, the capital of the Timur Khanate, is on the Silk Road. If it were handed over to others, Abu Saiza would have no choice but to move to India.
That won’t work, India’s geographical location is good, sooner or later we have to get there…
Zhu Qizhen recovered his thoughts and continued: "The other party must be preparing for a decisive battle when they reorganize their troops and horses. This is a tough battle. We can't wait any longer. You should immediately choose a few smart ones from the royal guards and ride on a fast horse to deliver my decree.
Hami Guard, remember, you must look for sparsely populated paths on the road. If you encounter an enemy, try to avoid it and don’t be reluctant to fight!”
Yuan Bin saluted and said: "I will make arrangements now!"
"Wait a moment!"
"Your Majesty, do you have any other orders?"
Zhu Qizhen said: "Put them in Mongolian clothes!"
Yuan Bin reacted immediately: "Your Majesty is brilliant!"
The journey from Tehran to Hamiwei is roughly five thousand miles. If we send a fast horse, it can take as little as ten days or as much as half a month. But we don't know whether the road can be passed smoothly.
Now that the Mongols are deploying troops on a large scale, this is actually an opportunity.
As long as you avoid areas where troops are concentrated and look for sparsely populated paths, even if you are discovered, at first glance, you will think it is a Mongolian officer delivering orders!
Three days later, a group of soldiers arrived in Tehran.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
The patrolling guards immediately became alert, pointing their guns at the intruder.
"Don't shoot, don't shoot..."
One of them shouted in a very bad way: "Don't shoot, we are human beings, we are human beings..."
"Nonsense, I know you are human, who are you?"
"We are human beings, we are human beings..."
"Are you fucking sick? I'm not blind! Tell me, who are you?"
"We are people... no, no, we are sheep, we are sheep!"
"Damn it, it turns out they are a bunch of lunatics, get out of here!"
"We are sheep, we are sheep!"
At this time, someone from the patrol team reacted and said, "Boss, do they want to say that they are Black Sheep people?"
The leader thought for a while and asked, "Are you black sheep people?"
"Yes, we are sheep!"
"What are you doing here?"
"We are sheep..."
"I know you are sheep, but I ask you, what are you doing here?"
"We are sheep..."
"Fuck, shut up!"
The muzzle of the black hole poked out again, and the Black Sheep Man was so frightened that he shut up.
Karashah had no choice but to stand up and said: "I am Karashah, the leader of the Black Sheep Tribe, requesting an audience with His Majesty the Ming Emperor!"
It's a pity that he can't speak Chinese, so the other party can't understand him.
"Damn it, it's not as good as the one just now..."
The patrol leader murmured a few words. Looking at the other party's appearance, he must be in trouble, so he said: "Disarm them and take them away!"
Not long after, Sun Jixian came to the Chinese army's tent and said: "Your Majesty, the leader of the Black Sheep, Karashakh, requests a face-to-face meeting!"
"Karashah, are you the one who came to negotiate before the war?"
"Back to the emperor, it is this person."
"Isn't he the younger brother of the leader of the Black Sheep?"
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that Bachelor Bei and his men bombed the Black Sheep Man's hometown, and the previous leader Gahanshah was burned to death in the city. Karashah will naturally take over as leader."
"So, I helped him get into this position?"
"Well... you can also say..."
Zhu Qizhen asked again: "What is he here for?"
"I asked for an interview and said that I wanted to negotiate."
"Still negotiating?"
Zhu Qizhen couldn't help laughing and said: "What kind of bargaining chip does he have?"
Sun Jixian asked: "Your Majesty, the Black Sheep Man was still our enemy not long ago. Do you want to take this opportunity to kill him to avoid future troubles?"
"Don't worry yet!"
Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and then asked: "How many people did he bring?"
"There are only a dozen guards around Karashah. I have sent a scout to check, and there is no trace of the large group of people around."
"We only brought a dozen people, so we are quite sincere. Well, wasn't Wang Yue the one who received us last time? Let him go to test this person's intentions first."
"yes!"
Sun Ji first found Wang Yue, the two discussed it, and then Wang Yue went to deal with it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "We meet again!"
Upon hearing this, Karashah immediately stood up and said respectfully: "Your Majesty the King!"
Wang Yue was a little surprised that he had become so polite after not seeing him for a long time.
"Your Majesty Shah, please sit down!"
Karashah did not sit down, but said: "Today, in the name of the leader of the Black Sheep, I request to restart negotiations with the Ming Dynasty."
Wang Yue smiled and said, "Haven't we already talked about it? Is there anything else to talk about?"
"No, we can talk, we can talk!"
Karashah waved his hands repeatedly and said: "As for the conditions proposed by Ming Dynasty, the Black Sheep Tribe accepts them all!"
Rui stood aside and was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the Black Sheep Tribe to surrender so quickly.
Although the Ming Dynasty is powerful, it is isolated and helpless in Tehran. If the three armies of White Sheep, Black Sheep and Timur continue to exert pressure, it is difficult to predict the outcome.
Now it's better, the black sheep have switched sides directly, and the pressure on Tehran has been reduced sharply.
He translated these words. After Wang Yue listened, he did not express his opinion immediately, but frowned and thought.
Indeed, if Black Sheep is willing to surrender, it will be good news for Ming Dynasty.
The northern defense line can be withdrawn, and the Black Sheep Department can also provide material supplies to Tehran. In this way, the pressure will be directly put on Timur and White Sheep.
However, he subconsciously thought of one thing, could it be a fake surrender?
In this era, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has become quite popular. As long as you have read a few paragraphs, or heard Mr. Shu tell a few paragraphs, anyone who surrenders voluntarily in front of the two armies will immediately think of a false surrender.
Wang Yue was a serious Jinshi, and his mind was spinning very fast. In just a moment, he had come up with a scenario. The Timur Khanate had given a secret order to Karashah, and they had to pretend to surrender in the Ming army.
Waiting for an opportunity to steal information in the city, and when the war begins, another disaster will happen to Xiao Qiang...
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he chuckled: "Is Your Excellency Shah sincerely surrendering?"
Karashah nodded and said: "It's sincere, very sincere!"
"If that's the case, I won't beat around the bush anymore. Regarding the conditions I proposed last time..."
"I agree to everything, I agree to everything!"
"No!"
Wang Yue slowly shook his head and said: "If His Excellency Shah had such an attitude during the last negotiation, it would be a win-win situation. However, the war has begun, with more than 80% of the casualties in the Black Sheep tribe, and the capital has been reduced to ruins. I'm sorry.
Let me put it bluntly, what qualifications do you have to stand here and negotiate with me now?"
Karashah's face was ugly. After a while, he said: "Master Wang, I am the leader of the Black Sheep. I came to visit you personally today. Your emperor did not come forward, nor did the chief official of Tehran City come forward. I have recognized it. Please don't say anything anymore."
Humiliate me!"
"I didn't humiliate you. What I said is all true. Negotiations also require bargaining chips. What chips do you have now?"
"We Black Sheep have a huge territory, as big as twenty Tehrans!"
"No matter how big the territory you have, it was all in the past. Now that you have no soldiers, how can you control these territories?"
Karashakh said with a dark face: "Actually, I still have more than 5,000 soldiers."
"Your 50,000 people can't even defeat 1,000 of us. Your capital city has 20,000 defenders, but it was captured by 200 of us. I don't know where you got the courage to negotiate with me."
"Master Wang, please be more respectful!"
"What if I don't want to?"
"Then... okay, you can humiliate me as much as you want, and when you're done humiliating me, we can continue to negotiate."
Seeing the opponent's appearance, Wang Yue became even more sure that he must be pretending to surrender!
"Since you insist on negotiating, well, I'm going to make a request."
Karashah hurriedly said: "I will release the abducted people of Tehran and promise never to expand the territorial boundaries. Also, I am willing to accept the canonization of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and declare myself to be a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Mr. Wang also
If you have any requests, please make them now."
These three conditions were proposed by Wang Yue during the last negotiation and were considered to be excessive.
Looking back now, these conditions are so favorable!
Unexpectedly, Wang Yue just shook his head after hearing this.
"As I said just now, these conditions have been invalidated."
"I know, what I mean is that I can accept, and on this basis, accept more of your conditions."
"no more."
"What?"
Wang Yue raised his right index finger and said slowly: "I mean, we only have one request today."
Karashah just felt that happiness came too suddenly, he didn’t want any of the three items, he only wanted one, and he made a profit!
"Speaking!"
Wang Yue looked into his eyes and said: "From now on, Black Sheep will belong to the Ming Dynasty."
Karashah didn't understand and asked: "Being included in the Ming Dynasty...what does it mean?"
Wang Yue explained: "If the last negotiation was reached, Black Sheep was still an independent regime, but it was surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and belonged to a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. Your brother would most likely be named King of Black Sheep, and his status would be equivalent to the prince of the Ming Dynasty.
"
"However, you did not agree, but chose to go to war with me, the Ming Dynasty. Now that we are defeated and you come to negotiate, the conditions will inevitably change. Listen, from now on, Black Sheep will no longer be an independent political power, but will be changed to Black Sheep
Dusi."
After Karashakh heard this, he immediately asked what Dusi was.
Wang Yue didn't need to answer this in person, Lu Yi explained it to him.
At the same time, Karashah also understood why three conditions became one.
As long as Black Sheep belongs to the Ming Dynasty, the abducted people of Tehran will also be the people of the Ming Dynasty. It will be the same wherever they are. If they want to come back, they can go back. If they don't want to come back, they can stay. Anyway, they are all the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
As for territory expansion...
It has become the territory of Ming Dynasty, and there is also Mao’s territory!
Even if it wants to expand, it will be Ming Dynasty expansion and has nothing to do with Black Sheep.
Karashah asked: "What should I do?"
"In the hope that you will rein in the situation and show some repentance, the Emperor will keep you and continue to serve as the leader of the Black Sheep Dusi."
"Will I also be crowned a prince?"
"Of course not, your position is to be the commander of the capital, unless..."
Wang Yue thought for a while and continued: "Unless you have achieved great military exploits, because the Ming Dynasty has never been knighted without military exploits!"
Karashah thought for a moment and then asked: "What does it mean to have achieved military exploits?"
Wang Yue smiled and said: "It's very simple, there is an opportunity now!"
Karashah immediately perked up and asked, "What opportunity?"
Wang Yue said calmly: "The Timur Khanate is deploying troops aggressively. There will definitely be a decisive battle in Tehran in at least two months. This is your chance!"
Karashah thought for a long time, seemed to secretly make up his mind, and then said: "I agree!"
"Don't think about it anymore?"
"I won't consider it anymore, I agree to everything."
Wang Yuerang felt that the other party was pretending to surrender, so he said: "Do you know what a certificate of surrender is?"
Rui was stunned and asked: "What do you mean?"
Wang Yue was speechless and couldn't even understand the translation, and Karashah certainly didn't understand it either.
It's really hard to chat with these people, and even the slightest bit of cultural background can't be used.
"It's a way for you to express your loyalty. For example, if you still have five thousand soldiers and horses, you can attack a small tribe under the Timur Khanate and bring their heads. This is called a surrender!"
Karashah frowned and asked, "If I can do it, can I be knighted?"
"Not necessarily, but..."
Wang Yue paused and continued: "You can gain the emperor's trust!"
Karashah put his right hand on his chest and said, "Wait for my news!"
