Chapter 563

After this great victory, the people of the whole city have completely agreed with the rule of Ming Dynasty.

From this moment on, all Tehranites will proudly tell their descendants that we are the people of Ming Dynasty!

The humiliation they suffered has become history. From now on, no one will come to plunder their food and property, snatch their women, and kill them like dogs.

The construction site in the new urban area was in full swing, and buildings rose from the ground, creating a spectacular scene.

Zhu Qizhen still didn't dare to relax his vigilance, because the Timur army might overwhelm the border at any time.

The Ming army caught everyone by surprise by relying on crushing-level weapons and equipment. However, if the opponent calmed down and carefully studied the countermeasures, the war was likely to reach a stalemate.

The biggest disadvantage on my side is the supply of ammunition. Since it is too far away from the mainland of Ming Dynasty, every bullet is one less, and every shell is one less. Relying on the temporary gunpowder workshop, I can rush to produce a batch of crude black powder and mine some land, but there is nothing I can do about precision bullets and shells.

This thing requires a high industrial base, and even in Daming itself, the annual output is extremely limited.

Zhu Qizhen stared at the map closely, thoughtful.

The sound of horseshoes came from outside the tent, and then Yuan Bin hurried over.

"Your Majesty, the opponent has made a big move!"

Without raising his head, Zhu Qizhen asked, "Did Timur start mobilizing troops?"

"Exactly!"

Yuan Bin looked nervous, and said: "Timur Khan Abu Saizah issued an edict to dispatch troops throughout the territory, and major cities such as Balihei, Samarkand, and Herat have already started operations!"

Zhu Qizhen found the corresponding location on the map and drew circles.

"It can be seen that the other party never thought of living in harmony with me, Daming. This battle is inevitable."

In fact, he has long been mentally prepared.

Because the entire Western Regions accounted for nearly half of the territory of the Timur Khanate, it was 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 is handed over to others, Abu Saiza can only move to India.

That doesn't work either, India's geographical location is good, and sooner or later we will get it...

Zhu Qizhen withdrew his thoughts and continued: "The other party must be preparing for a decisive battle when they organize their troops. This is a tough battle. You can't wait any longer. You immediately choose a few smart ones from Jinyiwei, and ride a fast horse to send my hand to Hamiwei. Remember to find a small road with few people on the road. If you encounter an enemy, try to avoid it and don't love to fight!"

Yuan Bin saluted and said, "The minister will arrange it now!"

"Wait a moment!"

"Your Majesty, do you have any orders?"

Zhu Qizhen said: "Put them in Mongolian clothes!"

Yuan Bin immediately reacted: "The emperor is brilliant!"

It is roughly five thousand miles from Tehran to Hamiwei. If you send fast horses, it will take as little as ten days and as long as half a month, but it is not known whether the road will pass smoothly.

Now that the Mongols are deploying troops on a large scale, it is an opportunity.

As long as you avoid the areas where the troops are concentrated, and look for the sparsely populated paths, even if you are discovered, at first glance, you may think it is a Mongolian officer who is delivering orders!

Three days later, a group of soldiers arrived in Tehran.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

The patrolling guards immediately went on alert, pointing their black guns at the incoming people.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot..."

One of them said in a very lame call: "Don't shoot, we're human, we're human..."

"Nonsense, I know you are human, who are you?"

"We are people, we are people..."

"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 turned out to be a bunch of lunatics, get out!"

"We are sheep, we are sheep!"

At this time, a member of the patrol team reacted and said, "Boss, do they want to say that they are black sheep?"

The team leader thought for a while and asked, "Are you black sheep?"

"Yes, we are sheep!"

"What are you doing here?"

"We are sheep..."

"I know you are sheep, I ask you, what are you here for?"

"We are sheep..."

"Shit, shut up!"

The muzzle of the black hole poked out again, and the black sheep man shut his mouth in fright.

Kara Shah had no choice but to stand up and said: "I am Kara Shah, the leader of the Black Sheep Tribe, and I request to see His Majesty the Emperor of Ming!"

It's a pity that he can't speak Chinese, so the other party can't understand.

"Damn it, it's not as good as the one just now..."

The patrol leader muttered a few words, seeing the appearance of the other party, there must be something wrong, so he said: "Down their weapons and take them away!"

Not long after, Sun Jixian came to the main tent of the Chinese army: "Your Majesty, the leader of the black sheep, Kara Shah, begged for a visit!"

"Karashah, 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 the Black Sheepman's hometown was blown up by Bachelor Bei? The previous leader, Gahan Shah, was burned to death in the city, and Kara Shah will naturally take over as the leader."

"So, it is I who helped him to sit in this position?"

"Well... you can also say that..."

Zhu Qizhen asked again: "What is he here for?"

"Ask for a face-to-face, saying that you want to negotiate."

"Still negotiating?"

Zhu Qizhen couldn't help laughing and said, "What bargaining chip does he have?"

Sun Jixian then asked: "Your Majesty, the black goats were still fighting against us not long ago, should we take this opportunity to kill them to avoid future troubles!"

"Don't worry!"

Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, and then asked: "How many people did he bring?"

"There are only a dozen guards around Karashah. The minister has already sent scouts to check, and there is no sign of a large group of people around."

"I only brought a dozen people, and I was quite sincere. How about it, didn't Wang Yue receive him last time? Let him go and try this person's intentions first."

"Yes!"

Sun Ji first found Wang Yue, the two discussed it, and then Wang Yue went to meet him.

"We meet again!"

Upon hearing this, Kara Shah immediately stood up and said respectfully, "Master Wang!"

On the contrary, Wang Yue was a little surprised that he had become so polite after not seeing him for a long time.

"Your Excellency Shah, please sit down!"

Karasah did not sit down, but said: "Today, in the name of the leader of the Black Sheep, I request to resume negotiations with Daming."

Wang Yue smiled and said, "Haven't we already talked about it? What else is there to talk about?"

"No, we can talk, we can talk!"

Kara Shah waved his hands again and again, and said, "As for the conditions proposed by Daming, the Black Sheep Tribe accepts them all!"

Rui Yi, who stood aside, was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the Black Sheep Tribe to surrender so soon.

Although Daming is powerful, it is isolated and helpless in Tehran. If the three armies of Aries, Black Sheep and Timur continue to exert pressure, the result is hard to say.

It's all right now, the black sheep directly defected, and Tehran's pressure dropped sharply.

He translated these words, Wang Yue listened, but did not express his opinion immediately, but frowned and thought.

It is true that if the black sheep is willing to surrender, it will be good news for Daming.

The defense line in the north can be withdrawn, and the Black Sheep Department can also provide Tehran with supplies. 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 false surrender?
In this era, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms has become quite popular. As long as you have read a few passages, or heard a few passages from Mr. Shu, before the battle between the two armies, as long as you voluntarily surrender, you will immediately think of false surrender.

Wang Yue was born as a second-class Jinshi, and his mind was spinning fast. In just a short moment, he had already come up with a scene. The Timur Khanate issued a secret order to Kara Shah.

Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he said with a light smile: "Your Majesty Shah really came to surrender?"

Karasah nodded and said, "It's true, very true!"

"If that's the case, I won't be playing around anymore. Regarding the conditions proposed last time..."

"I promise, I promise!"

"No!"

Wang Yue shook his head slowly, and said: "If your Excellency Shah had such an attitude during the last negotiation, it would be a win-win situation. However, the war has already started, the Black Sheep Division has been killed and injured more than [-]%, and the capital has also been reduced to ruins. Forgive me, what qualifications do you have to stand here and negotiate with me now?"

Karasah's face was ugly, and after a while, he said, "Lord Wang, I am the leader of the Black Sheep. I came to the door in person today. Your emperor did not show up, and neither did the chief officer of Tehran City. I admit it. Please don't humiliate me again!"

"I didn't humiliate you. What I said is all the truth. Negotiations also need to pay attention to bargaining chips. What bargaining chips do you have now?"

"We Black Sheep have a huge territory, as big as twenty Tehrans!"

"No matter how big your territory is, it was in the past. Now that you have no soldiers, what do you use to control these territories?"

Karasah said with a dark face, "Actually, I still have more than 5000 soldiers."

"Your 5 people can't beat our 1000 people. Your capital city has 200 defenders, and it was captured by [-] of us. I don't know where you got the courage to negotiate with me."

"Master Wang, please show some respect!"

"What if I don't want to?"

"Then... well, you can humiliate me to your heart's content. After you finish humiliating, we will continue to negotiate."

Seeing the opponent's appearance, Wang Yue became more certain that it must be a false surrender!

"Since you insist on negotiating, well, I'm going to make a request."

Kara Shah hurriedly said: "I will release the captive Tehran people, and I promise that I will never expand the territory and borders. Also, I am willing to accept the canonization of His Majesty the Ming Emperor and declare that I am a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. If you have any requests, Lord Wang, please put forward it now."

These three conditions were put forward by Wang Yue during the last negotiation, and they were considered excessive conditions.

Looking back now, how generous these conditions are!
Unexpectedly, Wang Yue just shook his head after listening.

"As I said just now, these conditions are void."

"I know, what I mean is that I can accept, and on this basis, accept more conditions from your side."

"no more."

"what?"

Wang Yue raised his right index finger and said slowly, "I mean, there is only one request from our side today."

Karasah just felt that happiness came too suddenly, and he didn't want any of the three, but only one, and he earned it!
"Speaking!"

Wang Yue looked into his eyes and said, "From now on, the black sheep will belong to Daming."

Karasah didn't understand, and asked, "What does it mean to belong to Daming...?"

Wang Yue explained: "If the last negotiation is concluded, the Black Sheep is still an independent regime, but it is subject to Daming and belongs to the vassal state of Daming. There is a high probability that your brother will be named the Black Sheep King, and his status is equivalent to that of the Prince of Ming."

"However, you didn't agree. Instead, you chose to fight against me, Ming Dynasty. Now that you have lost the war and come to negotiate, the conditions must change. Listen, from now on, the Black Sheep will no longer be an independent government, but will be changed to the Black Sheep Capital."

After listening to Kara Shah, he immediately asked what is Dusi.

There was no need for Wang Yue to answer this in person, Rui Yi explained it to him.

At the same time, Karasah also understood why the three conditions became one.

As long as the black sheep belong to Ming Dynasty, those Tehran people who were taken away are also people of Ming Dynasty, no matter where they are.

As for expansion...

It has become the territory of Ming Dynasty, and there is still Mao's territory!
Even if it wants to expand, it is the expansion of Ming Dynasty, and it has nothing to do with the black sheep.

Karasah asked, "Then what shall I do?"

"Because you rein in the precipice and still have a sliver of repentance, the emperor will keep you and continue to serve as the leader of the black sheep capital."

"Will I also be crowned prince?"

"Of course not, your position is Commander, unless..."

Wang Yue thought for a while, and continued: "Unless you make great military exploits, because the Ming Dynasty has never been knighted without military exploits!"

Karasah pondered for a moment, then asked again: "How do you count as a military exploit?"

Wang Yue smiled and said: "It's very simple, there is an opportunity right now!"

Karasah immediately regained his spirits and asked, "What opportunity?"

Wang Yue said indifferently: "The Timur Khanate is mobilizing troops on a large scale. For at most two months, Tehran will definitely have a decisive battle. This is your chance!"

Kara Shah thought for a long time, and seemed to have made up his mind secretly, and then said: "I promise!"

"Don't think about it anymore?"

"Don't think about it, I agree to everything."

Wang Yuerang felt that the other party was pretending to surrender, so he said, "Do you know what is a certificate of surrender?"

Rui was stunned, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Wang Yue was a little speechless, and he didn't even understand the translation, and Karasah must not understand it even more.

It's really hard to chat with these people, and even a little bit of cultural background can't be used.

"It's a way for you to express your loyalty. For example, you still have [-] soldiers and horses in your hand, enough to attack a small tribe under the Timur Khanate and bring their heads. This is called a certificate of honor!"

Karasah frowned and asked, "If I can do it, can I be knighted?"

"Not necessarily, but..."

Wang Yue paused, and continued: "You can gain the trust of the emperor!"

Karasah put his right hand on his chest and said, "Wait for my news!"
