Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 228
Pretending to be affectionate, he entertained Song Xiance with a prairie-flavored feast, and hypocritically sent someone to take Song Xiance to the State Guesthouse to rest, and sent a special person to entertain and strictly protect him. Immediately after the presence of outsiders, there was an uproar in the main hall of Wan'an Palace. The well-dressed and dignified Mongolian noble men and women insisted on their own views and refused to give in to each other for their own interests. Chaos, just roll up your sleeves and do it on the spot.

The focus of the quarrel is of course the position of the Lin Dan army in the Ming-Jin war. The old-school Mongolian princes headed by Otokebake, Seben, and Sanggarzhai thought about the friendship they had lived in peace with Ming Dynasty for many years, and led the doves. The Mongolian nobles agreed Accepting Song Xiance's lease conditions, and expelling the enslaved envoy Bao Chengxian to express his sincerity, so as to continue the peaceful coexistence between Chahar and Daming for 57 years. Lin Dan's second son, Abnai, is also a hardcore pro-Ming faction. A lot of young and old-fashioned unique opinions, "Father Khan, you must not go to war with Daming! In the 57 years since Mongolia and Daming exchanged tribute, Daming has never invaded an inch of our Mongolian land, nor has it killed any of our Mongolian people at will. This is enough. It proves that Ming Dynasty is the supreme kingdom of China, a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and we can rest assured that we can form an alliance with Daming! But as for Jiannu, they are just a group of wolves who can’t get enough to eat. Over the years, how many lands have been robbed of us, and how many people in Mongolia have been killed The people? To form an alliance with them, isn't it sleeping in a tent with a hungry jackal?"

"The second prince is right, that's the truth!" Qisai Nuoyan, Buck, Seben, Sanggar and other old Mongolian nobles applauded. The captives of the slaves were finally redeemed by their tribe with [-] cattle and sheep. Of course they knew what Jiannu was, so they were very much in favor of continuing to unite the Ming Dynasty to fight against the gold.Qi Sainuoyan, who went to meet Song Xiance during the day, also shouted loudly: "Khan, although the second prince is young, his words are very reasonable. Daming is kind, Jiannu is cruel, and Jiannu forms an alliance. In Daming's words, it is Seeking skin from a tiger! If we form an alliance with Jiannu, sooner or later, we will be killed by Jiannu!"

"Qiseno Yantaiji, what you said is really ridiculous. What's the point of the naive opinion of a half-grown child?" Er Zhe, the eldest son of Lin Dan who is pro-slave, sneered loudly, "What the envoy of Dajin said is even more serious. It makes sense, the three kingdoms of Ming, Mongolia, and Dajin stand together, Ming is the strongest, and our Mongolia and Dajin combined are not as strong as half of Ming! The reason why my father Khan agreed to form an alliance with Ming was because of the momentum of Dajin Taisheng has already threatened our Mongolian grassland, so my father borrowed the hand of the Ming Dynasty to restrain Dajin. Now Dajin has been seriously weakened by the Ming Dynasty. If we don’t adjust our strategy in time to fight against the Ming Dynasty, we will wait until the Dajin is destroyed by the Ming Dynasty. The next one to be wiped out will be our Mongolian turn!"

"The eldest prince is right!" A large group of hawkish Mongolian nobles headed by Dorjita, Guyingtasu, Tuba Jinong and Hou Henbatulu applauded loudly. Erbei Zhaisang yelled the loudest, "Dajin is poor, Ming is rich, uniting with Ming to eliminate Daijin will not benefit us at all, uniting with Daijin to destroy Ming will benefit us too much! At the very least, We can snatch countless slaves, food, ironware and all kinds of things we urgently need from the Ming Kingdom without spending a tael of silver, and if we destroy Dajin, can we grab these things?"

"That's right!" The militant Mongolian nobles cheered and echoed, and Lin Dan's favorite minister Guiying also shouted: "Khan, you must not agree to the request of the Ming Dynasty! If the Karaqin Grassland and the Horqin Grassland If we lease it to the Ming Kingdom, then we will be surrounded by the Ming Kingdom on both sides. How can we expand the territory and replenish military supplies? The south and east are controlled by the Ming Kingdom. We should go west to grab the sand on the desert, or go north To snatch the ice and snow in Mobei? It’s better to form an alliance with Dajin to snatch the Ming Kingdom, and in the future, we will divide the Central Plains equally with Dajin and reproduce the scenery of our Dayuan Empire!"

"I also agree to form an alliance with Dajin." The Mongolian Queen Su Tai also expressed her opinion, saying in a dark voice: "If the Horqin and Karaqin grasslands are leased to the Ming Dynasty, we in Mongolia will be tied hand and foot. If there is no more room for action, it is better to use force to regain the two grasslands and open up the connection with Dajin. When the time comes, we will both ask for the price, and whoever offers the higher price will help the other, and the benefits will be even more.”

"Empress, I don't agree with what you say." The old Wang Seben stood up and retorted: "It's not a day or two since the tribes of Horqin and Harqin Taiji and the Great Khan have feuded with each other. If the Great Khan uses force forcibly Taking back these two grasslands, they will definitely resist desperately, and will definitely ask Daming for help. When the time comes, Master Zhang Haogu, the God of War of the Ming Dynasty, will send troops from Xuanda and directly enter our hinterland, copying us from behind, and we will be attacked from both sides. How can we fight this battle? Besides, we are divided in Mongolia, and many tribes are not listening to the orders of the Great Khan. Once a full-scale war with Ming Dynasty is fought, who can say which side these tribes will stand on? In my opinion , it would be better to lend these two grasslands to Daming, and let Daming block the threat of slavery for us. The Great Khan took the opportunity to integrate the interior, reunite all the Mongolian tribes, and at the same time resolve the hatred between the Great Khan and the Mongolian tribes on these two grasslands , and when the lease expires, the two grasslands can be regained without a single soldier."

"Is Zhang Hao the ancient barbarian considered the god of war? I can crush him with one hand!" Ezhe yelled arrogantly, "We in Mongolia have 40 troops, and my father Khan led 20 troops to fight Horqin and Karaqin. 20 troops went to attack Xuanda, and within a month of safekeeping, Zhang Haogu, the barbarian, would be captured alive, and all of Xuanda’s belongings would be snatched by the way!”

"Brother, are you younger than me?" Abnai sneered, "Master Zhang Haogu's title of God of War was not given to him by Daming himself, it was recognized by Jiannu, Horqin, and Karaqin Mongolian tribes. Yes! Haven’t you heard that the greatest wish of the old Jiannu Nuerhachi now is to have a fair decisive battle with Mr. Zhang Haogu before he dies. Even if he loses, he can die without worry Well, Nurhachi still thinks so, let alone you? And let’s not talk about whether you can beat Mr. Zhang Haogu. Now that we have such a severe food shortage in Mongolia, we rely on the purchase of food from the Daming Border Market. Mr. Zhang Haogu just needs to close In the border markets of Xuanda, our army will starve to death within three months!"

"Fart! Little boy, what do you know about fighting?"

"The second prince is right. We rely too much on Daming's border market. Now we must not turn against Daming. We can only continue to form an alliance with Daming!"

"Stupid words! The Ming Dynasty really dared to close the border market, we will go there to grab it immediately, and we don't need to spend money to buy it, we can exchange it with cattle, sheep and horses!"

"Ouba also thought so when he led an army of 12 to attack Xifengkou, but what happened? Master Zhang Haogu used [-] troops to fight all the way into the city of Geljurgen, and even took Austria The whole family of Ba has been arrested, you really want to provoke Master Zhang Haogu and go yourself, I won't go!"

"Oba, that idiot, can you compare with our Hutuktu Khan...?"

There was a lot of noise in the hall, but Lin Dan didn't say a word, he just bit his nails and calculated nervously, and Lin Dan's most trusted national teacher, Lama Sharpa Hutuktu, also didn't say a word, he closed his eyes as if in samadhi, at every turn.Finally, when the pro-Ming faction and the pro-slave faction became hoarse from the quarrel, Lama Salpa slowly opened his eyes and smiled. Lin Dan, who was hesitating, knew that he must have an idea. Quickly asked: "Master, what do you think of this matter?"

"Khan, in my opinion, whether it is Lianming or Lianjin, both have their own advantages and disadvantages." Lama Sharpa's tone was very calm, low and clear, "If it is Lianming, the advantage is that you can Ensure the food supply of Mongolia and minimize the war. At the same time, you can get gold and silver rewards from the Ming Dynasty, which will help Mongolia to survive the famine and make up for the expenditure of the treasury. And it is safe. The disadvantage is that the Great Khan is surrounded by the Ming Kingdom on both sides, and is bound by the Ming Kingdom and cannot expand. If during this period, the Great Jin is destroyed by the Ming Kingdom, then the Great Khan will forever lose the opportunity to fight for world hegemony. Mongolia's territory will also remain in its current state for a long time, and it will be difficult to expand its territory."

"What about Lianjin?" Lin Dan asked thoughtfully.Lama Sharpa replied in a deep voice: "If the Great Khan joins the Jin Dynasty, the advantage is that he can immediately take back the Horqin Grassland and the Karaqin Grassland, use the war with the Ming Dynasty to obtain various supplies that Mongolia is in short supply, and further cooperate with the Dajin to destroy the Ming Dynasty." , enter the Central Plains, divide the world equally with Dajin, and even go further to eliminate Dajin and dominate the world! The disadvantage is that once the alliance with Jin and Ming Dynasty fails, our Mongolia will inevitably suffer the most cruel revenge from Ming Dynasty. The militant faction headed by Zhang Haogu in the Ming Dynasty will definitely raise troops to the north and fight to the death with our Mongolia. If there is a mistake, it is not impossible for our Mongolia to be expelled by the Ming Dynasty to the north of Yuyu Haier. So we say Well, if the Great Khan joins the Jin Dynasty to resist the Ming Dynasty, he will use the Mongolian Kingdom to take risks and gamble!"

Speaking of this, Lama Sharpa added, "More importantly, the Ming Dynasty and Dajin are already sworn enemies, and they are already in an endless situation, so the Great Khan can only fight now. One side of the alliance and one side of the attack, if Da Khan is lucky and adopts a neutral attitude, then not only will neither side be offended, but both sides will be offended at the same time! Mongolia will immediately become the mortal enemy of Ming and Jin, whether it is Ming or Dajin. Get rid of my Mongolia and hurry up!"

"If I take a neutral attitude, I will offend both sides at the same time?" Lin Dan, who once planned to watch the fire from the other side and reap the benefits, asked in surprise.Lama Sharpa replied: "Great Khan, the Ming Emperor and Dajin Khan are not fools. They will not allow an army that can control the situation of the battlefield to be ambushed next to their battlefield. What's more, this army The army still has the strength to eat them both when they lose both."

Lin Dan's face was solemn, and he nodded slowly after thinking for a long time, expressing that he agreed with Lama Sharpa's point of view, and then Lin Dan asked again: "National Teacher, in your opinion, should I Lian Jin or Lian Ming?"

Lama Sarpa, who was deeply trusted by Lin Dan, did not answer, but looked at the two factions of Mongolian nobles who were eager to see through - how much these Mongolian nobles hoped that Lama Sarpa would stand by them.Lin Dan understood, stood up and said, "National Teacher, I haven't gone to Jinding White Temple to offer incense for two days, let's go, and you personally lead me to Jinding White Temple to offer incense." Lama Sharpa smiled and stood up too , He clasped his palms and replied: "It's really a blessing for my Buddhist sect that the Great Khan pays homage to the Dharma. The little monk is willing to serve the Great Khan."

………………

The Golden Roof and White Temple is a Red Sect temple built by Lin Dan specially for Lama Sharpa in the 46th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. A thousand catties of gold was cast by Lama Bhagspa (the prototype of Jinlun Dharma King) and enshrined in the Jinding White Temple. Spiritual symbol in Mongolia. ——Of course, what Lin Dan, who believed in Lamaism, probably never imagined in his dreams was that he did not hesitate to poach his own corners to offend the Lamaism invited by Mongolian supporters. The youngest son can stay at home to multiply the population, and all the other sons are sent to become monks), and he has become the first weapon of Jiannu to control Mongolia.

The topic is far away, let’s get down to business, after Lama Salpa led Lin Dan into the Golden-roofed White Temple, Lin Dan first retreated from others, burned incense in the Buddhist hall where the Golden Buddha was enshrined, and knelt down to worship, and then he and Sharpa Lama Ba sat on the ground facing each other, and then Lin Dan asked again: "Master, why didn't you speak out your opinion in front of others in the hall just now?"

"It's a secret matter, if it is leaked, I'm afraid it will be bad." Lama Sharpa replied calmly.Lin Dan was taken aback for a while, and quickly asked: "National Teacher, in your opinion, should I unite the Ming Dynasty and destroy the gold? Or should I unite the Jin Dynasty and destroy the Ming?"

"Lianming." Lama Sharpa replied slowly, "More Lianjin!"

"Lianming? More Lianjin? Is this possible?" Lin Dan was taken aback. He really didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Lama Sharpa.

"Of course it is possible. The Great Khan only needs to unite with the Ming on the surface and the gold in the dark." Lama Sharpa said darkly: "A few days ago, Mr. Bao Chengxian, the envoy of the Great Gold, said something well in the Wan'an Palace—— Among the three kingdoms in the world, the Ming Kingdom is the strongest, and the Jinmeng Kingdom is weak. Their lips and teeth depend on each other, and if they unite the strong and destroy the weak, it is tantamount to self-destruction. Once the Ming Kingdom is destroyed, and if we, Mongolia, are lucky, we can only continue to continue our friendship with the Ming Kingdom. , live in peace, but you will also lose the opportunity to rule the world forever! Da Khan, you have great ambitions and want to restore the great power of the Yuan Empire. Mie Ming is the only chance for you to get what you want, Da Khan, and it is also the best chance!"

"That makes sense, and I think so too. If you unite the Ming Dynasty to destroy the gold, the only one who will gain is the Ming country, and I won't get any benefits." Lin Dan finally confided his heart, and then asked suspiciously: "Since the national teacher agrees to unite Jin Mieming, then why do you say that you are uniting with the Ming on the surface, but you are uniting with Jin in the dark?"

"Because, now is not the time to turn against Ming." Lama Sharpa's voice became colder and colder, "Ming is too strong, our Mongolia is suffering from famine, and the interior is unstable. If the Great Khan turns against Ming now, Ming China will immediately close the border market and start a new war with Mongolia. At that time, we Mongolia will not be able to put Ming to death within a short while, and Ming will cut off our food source. Our Mongolia will be torn apart, which is not good. So the only way now is to temporarily agree to the Ming Kingdom’s request for a lease, and use the power of the Ming Kingdom to get rid of the current famine. In secret, we will secretly conclude an alliance with Dajin, and use Ming Kingdom’s food weapons to secretly fund Daijin. Use the hands of Da Jin to consume the power of the Ming country, and take advantage of both ends. When the time is right, you will raise your troops to the south, and the Central Plains will be settled!"

"Use the hands of Dajin to consume the power of the Ming Kingdom? Take advantage of both ends?" Lin Dan's eyes were greedy, and he asked quickly: "But if the Kingdom of Jin can't hold on, it will be destroyed by the Kingdom of Jin before we are ready. Didn't we miss our opportunity?"

"Great Khan, do you think that the current situation in the Ming Dynasty is very good?" Lama Sharpa said with a wicked smile: "The rebellion in Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty has spread to Gansu and Shanxi. The Ming army is fighting fires everywhere, but because of the famine in the north There is no food to help, and there is still no way to quell the rebellion. Even Zhang Haogu, the number one general of the Ming Dynasty, is helpless against the rebellion in Shaanxi. Da Jin and the rebellion, like two little tigers, are chasing after the rebellion of the Ming Kingdom. A big tiger bites the big tiger. Although the big tiger will not be killed by the two little tigers for a while, it will always be bitten. What we have to do now is to secretly feed the two little tigers some fresh meat to give them strength Bite longer, and bite the wound on the big tiger deeper. When the blood of the big tiger is almost gone, and the two little tigers are almost killed, we rush out and stab the big tiger hard. It's much easier to kill a fatal blow and then eat two dying cubs."

"Wonderful!" Lin Dan clapped his legs and applauded, and then hurriedly asked: "Then what should I do specifically? Ask the national teacher for advice."

"First, summon Song Xiance, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and Abai and Bao Chengxian, the envoys of the Dajin Kingdom." Lama Sharpa calmly counted his fingers and said, "Let them fight dog and dog in front of the Great Khan, and compete for the price. Establish an alliance with the Great Khan, try to get more benefits from the Ming Kingdom, and then agree to maintain the alliance with the Ming Kingdom, and temporarily lease the Horqin and Harqin Grasslands to the Ming Dynasty. During this period, Great Khan, you must not promise the Ming Kingdom The grain and salt trade standard system proposed cannot allow the Ming country to control the amount of grain supplied to us. It must let the Ming country agree to let us decide the amount of grain, salt, and luggage, so that we can secretly supply grain to Dajin and help them Confronting the Ming Dynasty can also earn a huge price difference and enrich the treasury."

"Good idea!" Lin Dan applauded.Lama Sharpa raised his second finger again, and said darkly: "Secondly, after publicly extending the covenant with the Ming Dynasty, the Great Khan secretly summoned the Dajin envoys and told them about your difficulties. Secretly concluded a covenant, on the condition of supplying Daikin weapons and food, in exchange for Daikin to stop supporting the Chechen tribes, take the Chechen grassland that betrayed the Great Khan back to the territory, and open up contact with Daikin. As for other conditions, Daikin In the current situation, basically, whatever conditions you put forward, they dare not refuse."

"The third point is the most critical." Lama Sharpa snapped off his third finger, and said in an extremely cold tone: "Among the generals of the Ming Dynasty, the most worthy of our attention is Zhang Haogu, a little barbarian. It is really good at fighting. Three thousand troops dare to attack Shengjing. Eight thousand troops can sweep the two grasslands of Horqin and Karaqin, defeating hundreds of Mongolian tribes and hundreds of thousands of Mongolian allied forces. If we just sit idly by this little barbarian I don't care, I'm afraid it won't take long for him to wipe out the Shaanxi rebels in the Ming Dynasty and destroy a little tiger that restrained the Ming country, so we must send troops to contain him, and we can't let him comfortably wipe out the Shaanxi rebels , as much as possible to help the Shaanxi rebellion in the Ming Dynasty to make the trouble bigger and last longer."

"Send troops to contain Zhang Haogu, the little savage?" Lin Dan asked in surprise, "We have concluded an alliance with Ming, and sending troops to beat him, isn't that a betrayal of the alliance?"

"Khan, it doesn't necessarily require war to contain Zhang Haogu's barbarian." Lama Sharpa got up, took a map from the back hall and spread it out in front of Lin Dan, pointing to a location in the north of Xuanda and said: " Big Khan, please see that in the north of Zhangjiakou, there is a lake named Angu Naoer (now Anguripo), which is adjacent to the main road of Zhangjiakou, and the water and grass are fertile. With a large army stationed in this position, can the little barbarian Zhang Haogu not be worried? Would he dare to let his main force go deep into Shaanxi to wipe out the rebels?"

Lin Dan stared at the map and calculated for a long time, and finally slapped his thigh and shouted: "Guoshi Gaoming, this location is wonderful, since this is our Mongolian territory, we stationed troops, Zhang Haogu and the Ming court have nothing to say , and can always threaten the Xuanfu and the capital of the Ming Dynasty, forcing Zhang Haogu to move his army north to strengthen his defense and weaken his bandit suppression force! Moreover, our army is stationed here, and we can also replenish food and grass from Zhangjiakou nearby. Reduce the loss on the road!"

"The more critical point." Lama Sharpa added with a sly smile: "Our nail is nailed here, and the little barbarian Zhang Haogu dare not come to pull it out-if he acts rashly, we can accuse him of sabotage. Covenant, put pressure on the court of the Ming Dynasty, let the court of the Ming Dynasty go to him to settle accounts! Zhang Haogu, no matter how cunning and cunning the little barbarian, can only watch us nailed to Angjia Naoer, passively strengthen the defense, and dare not take the initiative to attack , and drive our troops away."

"Okay! Let's do this!" Lin Dan made a decision on the spot, and said with a smirk: "The court of the Ming Dynasty wants to stabilize me temporarily to avoid fighting on the third front. Don’t be fooled! I’m going to turn around and not only contain the elite troops of the Ming Kingdom, but also let the Ming Kingdom go to fight with Dajin and the rebels, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight!”
