Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

While the sun is shining brightly in Beijing, the sky in Datong is covered with dark clouds.

The day for negotiations between the two parties has arrived, and the two parties faced off on a grassland outside the Great Wall. In front were a thousand cavalrymen from each side, and in the rear were their respective armies, looking tense.

The summer wind was blowing brightly, making the banners rustle.

Chen Jian, the deputy commander-in-chief of Datong, had sharp eyes and personally led the strongest cavalry of Datong. He looked eagerly at the Mongolian cavalry ahead who had a bloody feud.

Although the Mongolian cavalry are warriors who grew up on horses, the Datong cavalry are also natural soldiers, and are now equipped with the most sophisticated weapons.

With the successful restoration of Kaizhongfa, the food in the side warehouse is now abundant, and the weapons and horses provided by the court are of the highest quality, which provides confidence to all Datong soldiers.

With such a wise emperor, they felt that their rear was extremely powerful, and naturally they would not be afraid of the shabby Mongolian army in front of them.

Woo woo woo...

Dong dong dong...

As the two military formations sent out signals, there was movement in the formations of both sides, and the two teams left the formations almost at the same time.

Xu Qiong, the Minister of Rites, and Chen Kun, the Governor of Xuanda, headed towards the hill to the east. There was an ancient pine there, which could have been used to shade the sun, but it was of no use today.

Just when you come to this small hill, you can see the endless prairie to the north, and you can also see the Great Wall stretching across the mountains.

Call!

The Mongolian team arrived later, led by Manduhai and Dayan Khan who were riding together.

Although history books seem to deliberately downplay Manduhai, Manduhai is indeed a strange woman on the grassland.

Although she was born as a girl, she quietly promoted the unification of Mongolia after receiving Mantulu's inheritance.

Over the years, he has gone through hundreds of battles, but he has expanded the legacy left by Mantulu nearly ten times, and even killed Grand Master Yisi Mayin to become the strongest force on the grassland.

The envoy has seen Mandu Haihatun! Xu Qiong, the Minister of Rites, exchanged glances with Chen Kun, the Governor of Xuanda, and immediately stepped forward to greet him respectfully.

Manduhai, who was more than half a head taller than Dayan Khan, was the first to turn over from his horse, but saw that Xu Qiong and Chen Kun didn't look kindly on them.

She had originally intended to retreat behind the scenes and let Dayan Khan lead the army to fight everywhere. When Dayan Khan accumulated enough military merit and reputation, she would hand over the power to him.

It's just that this time the Tonggong mutual trade led by Dayan Khan went wrong. Not only did Zhiyuan Tongha lose most of the mission, but his precious daughter fell into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

Manduhai was concerned about his daughter's life, and this time he almost came out in full force. However, the Ming court always delayed it for various reasons, and now they finally started negotiations.

Is this the little prince Batu Mengke? Xu Qiong, the Minister of Rites, asked without any pretense at all, and asked Dayan Khan who was following him with a smile.

Although Dayan Khan personally led the army to invade Datong four years ago, he was still a fourteen-year-old boy with a childish face and not even a full height, only 1.5 meters tall.

Thanks to Manduhai's careful training and being charged into battle by Manduhai since he was a child, his face does have a maturity that is incompatible with a fourteen-year-old boy.

Dayan Khan's Chinese was not very good, but he understood the meaning of little prince. He suddenly felt unhappy and glared at Xu Qiong angrily.

Master Xu, this title is inappropriate. Our Ming Dynasty did not canonize his father as king! Chen Shen put away his usual smile, but corrected him with a straight face.

The so-called little prince is actually an unofficial title.

But now the relationship between Ming Dynasty and Mongolia has deteriorated. Even though Dayan Khan is a descendant of Genghis Khan's golden family, the Ming court has never officially recognized his identity.

Dayan Khan obviously felt that the fat man was looking down on him, so he immediately pulled out a dagger and pointed it at Chen Kun and threatened: I don't need you to be canonized by the Ming Dynasty. My father is... no, I am the king, no, no, I am the Great Khan of the Great Yuan Dynasty. !”

Mandu Haihatun, didn't you agree that all negotiators will not be armed? Now you show off your knife when we meet, are we still talking? Chen Kun raised his hand, but looked at Mandu Hai and asked.

Manduhai still wanted to make a good judgment and ordered with dissatisfaction: Batu Munch, give me the knife!

Dayan Khan did not dare to disobey Manduhai's will, so he had to hand over his precious knife to Manduhai. When he saw Manduhai take the knife and throw it into the bushes below, he couldn't help but feel a little pain in his heart.

At this moment, he hated this fat Ming official.

Xu Qiong and Chen Kun exchanged glances silently, but they knew that this was a woman with courage in doing things.

Man Duhai is a pragmatic person, and he said straight to the point: I will reiterate our Dayuan conditions! One is to bring back Ixi, and the other is to return 10,000 horses and mules!

Chen Jian, the deputy commander-in-chief of Datong who was accompanying him, heard that Manduhai still had these two unreasonable conditions. He couldn't help but feel angry, but he said angrily: If you think about it this way, you have robbed the property of our Datong border residents over the years. How to calculate it?

cough!

Xu Qiong, the Minister of Rites, coughed, glared at Chen Jian with dissatisfaction and said: I have this, so why do you have the right to speak? Shut your mouth!

Master Xu, what Mr. Chen said is not unreasonable! If you really want to calculate it, you really need to calculate it carefully. You can't just take whatever they say! Chen Kun defended Chen Jian, but he was obviously hostile. typical.

Governor Chen, Your Majesty sent me here to negotiate. I have my own discretion! Xu Qiong reprimanded again, and then smiled as if his face changed: Mandu Haihatun, to tell you the truth, I have been ordered to I came here to clarify one thing. I wonder if you, Beiyuan, will fight or make peace with Daming in the future?

Dayan Khan had already realized the importance of the mutual trade of tribute and tribute, and immediately said naturally: From now on, if you trade with me in the mutual trade of tribute and tribute in the Great Yuan Dynasty, I can ensure the peace of your Datong border!

We, Datong Xuanfu, have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, and I want you to protect the peace of our Datong border. Are you kidding me? Chen Kun snorted coldly, but said with high fighting spirit.

Dayan Khan felt that he had been humiliated, so he threatened: Believe it or not, I will lead my troops into Datong now. Let me see what you do to protect the peace of Datong border!

Okay, it's a deal, I will stay with you until the end! Mr. Xu, you heard it, they are going to fight in Beiyuan, you can go back and report to His Majesty! Chen Kun readily agreed, then looked at Xu Qiong and said.

Governor Chen, don't worry about the world being in chaos! Xu Qiong reprimanded, and then smiled at Manduhai and said: Manduhaihatun, we can negotiate tribute and mutual trade, but if you threaten like this, I will I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do!”

Batu Mengke, let me discuss this matter! Manduhai warned Dayan Khan, and then looked at Xu Qiong and said: Your Majesty, our Yuan Dynasty wants to seek peace, and we also want to exchange tribute and trade. I don't know that your majesty What means?

Our Majesty's intention has been made very clear in the memorandum. Emperor Yuan will not be allowed to exist! Since ancient times, Chinese emperors have ruled the world, and they live in China to unify the four directions. Little princes cannot be emperors! Xu Qiong looked at Mandu Sea, He expressed his position with sincerity in his eyes.

Although there is some element of acting this time, when I think about the passionate statement and the prosperous Ming Dynasty, I can't help but have a clear and authentic stance.

Although the purpose of this visit was to negotiate peace, the emperor also warned before leaving that the Ming Dynasty was not afraid of war and could also solve the Mongolian troubles through force.

Dayan Khan has always been proud of his bloodline, but he has no intention of giving in: I am the descendant of the Golden Family, why can't I be the Great Khan of the Yuan Dynasty!

It's enough to have our Majesty in this world. How dare you call yourself that! Chen Kun responded matter-of-factly, then made a gesture of wiping his neck.

After all, Dayan Khan was a fourteen-year-old boy. As he spoke, he reached out and drew his knife to kill someone, only to find that his knife had been thrown away by Mandu Hai.

Haitun, Mandu, you are mainly responsible for causing such a commotion this time! If you had followed the previous rules, the Ming Dynasty would not have prohibited you from paying tribute, but you claiming to be the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty have already touched We have reached the bottom line of our Ming Dynasty! If you still insist on this, this negotiation may not be able to continue! Xu Qiong immediately used the topic to express his position and looked at Manduhai.

Manduhai knew that this was indeed the result of Dayan Khan listening to Tong Ha's suggestion, and claiming that he was the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty had indeed violated the bottom line of the Ming Dynasty.

If the Ming Dynasty was dominated by the peace faction, they could turn a blind eye to this claim, but now the Ming court is probably dominated by the war faction.

Although their invasion of the Ming Dynasty will bring disasters to Datong, Beiyuan's own foundation is not stable enough. Now it is almost impossible to unify Mongolia while fighting the Ming Dynasty.

Even though she has the flag of Genghis Khan's Golden Family, if she is not strong enough, those wolves will definitely take the opportunity to rob the territory.

In fact, now they, Beiyuan, need to ask for tribute and trade with the Ming Dynasty. Only in this way can they exchange for enough supplies, and the Ming Dynasty is indeed not afraid of war.

Even though the person negotiating in front of them, the newly appointed Governor Xuanda, is obviously a war party, he is eager for their negotiations to break down and start a war.

After some weighing, Manduhai decided to make a concession: We, the Yuan Dynasty, can make concessions. We will no longer claim to be the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. We will exchange tribute and trade now!

Our Ming Dynasty can make Batu Mengke the King of Beishun, make you the Princess of Beishun, and also open a horse market in the same year of Datong! Xu Qiong was secretly happy in her heart, and immediately came up with a plan.

Man Duhai found that Ming Ting was more open-minded than he wanted, and that this plan was better than he expected, but he was doubtful and said: You can make the decision on the opening of the market? Also, when will you put Ikesi back?

Originally our court planned to go to war with you Beiyuan, but His Majesty learned that Princess Iksi's appearance was unparalleled, and after seeing Iksi's portrait, he decided to make Iksi your noble concubine, so he decided to treat you earlier Let your mistakes be forgotten, and we wish to be friends for eternity! Xu Qiong immediately said with a smile.

The smile on Manduhai's face disappeared, and he looked at the little old man in front of him in disbelief.

Dayan Khan was planning how to kill the fat man in front of him. Hearing this, he opened his eyes in shock and said, Your emperor wants to marry Ixi?

To be precise, I want Nayikexi to be your concubine! Xu Qiong corrected her with a smile on her face.

Dayan Khan had already regarded Iksi as a relative, and said as if it was a threat: Your emperor must have gone crazy. We cannot agree to return Iksi immediately, otherwise we will start a war!

Mandu Haihatun, our Majesty is full of sincerity! If His Majesty hadn't fallen in love with Yixi at first sight when he saw Ixi's face, I'm afraid there would be no room for maneuver this time. Our Ming Dynasty has actually consolidated the border warehouses and prepared for the war. Now, This marriage is actually good for everyone! Xu Qiong knew that she had to give the other party time to digest, and she seemed sincere and sincere.

Manduhai looked deeply at the two officials in front of him and finally realized that this negotiation was actually a carefully arranged little conspiracy.

They first deliberately discussed paying tribute to seal the city, and then talked about adopting their own daughter as a concubine, so that they invisibly fell into the multiple-choice question they set.

It’s just that there are really not many choices for her now. After all, Ming Dynasty is no longer a weak Ming Dynasty, and Mongolia needs Ming Dynasty’s support if it wants to unify.

It is true that Manduhai loved his daughter, but he also knew that he had the mission to unify Mongolia, so he asked seriously: How is your emperor's character?

As a minister, how dare you speak arbitrarily about the emperor! But you should be able to feel that our Ming Dynasty is already very different! Xu Qiong stopped.

If we really want to fight now, I can guarantee that, let alone you want to unify Mongolia, the bloodline of Genghis Khan's golden family is really incredible! Chen Kun said in a very attractive manner.

Dayan Khan once again glared at the fat man with a hateful face, wanting to kill him.

Mandu Haihatun, if you are in trouble, you can go back and think about it carefully! Xu Qiong couldn't rush it, so she was ready to end the discussion.

Whether it's war or peace, we will stay with you until the end! Chen Kun faced Dayan Khan's hostile gaze and expressed his stance without fear.

Although he joined forces with Xu Qiong to sing a double act, the Ming Dynasty's current strength gave him enough confidence, so he was not worried about Manduhai choosing to go to war.

Manduhai watched Xu Qiong and others leave, and then rode back to the Khan tent with Dayan Khan.

Although she really wanted to rescue her daughter, the current situation was indeed unfavorable. After all, the Ming Dynasty was determined not to be threatened by the 30,000 troops she led.

Unfortunately, the Ming Dynasty did not intend to kill his daughter. On the contrary, the bloody Emperor of the Ming Dynasty wanted to accept his daughter as a noble concubine.

That's why, although she wanted to take her daughter back without hesitation when she came, she felt hesitant now.

While the peace talks were still being negotiated here, a motorcade from the Xuanfu drove into Beijing.
