Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 244 Declare War on Young Dog

(PS: There was a power outage during the day, and I used the battery to update the [-]-character chapter, asking for a monthly pass!)

After finally crossing the Hunsandak Desert, and crossing many rivers with hard-to-pronounce and hard-to-remember names, the Zhaisang defeated soldiers who were defeated by the Heiyunlong Army finally returned to Chahan on the alluvial plain of the Chagan Murun River. In Haote City, with tears in his eyes, Lin Dan reported the bad news that E Zhe failed to attack the hinterland of Xuanfu, resulting in the [-] army being surrounded by Young Master Zhang in the Yinshan Mountains.After hearing the news, Lin Dan was so angry that he turned the table over on the spot, and roared wildly: "E Zhe, you big idiot! How did you promise me when you set off? Without my order, who told you to go with the barbarian now?" Is it going to war? Do you know that you ruined my big business!"

"Great Khan, the eldest prince was bullied too hard by the barbarians!" The villain in Zhaisang complained first, and rushed to say: "Khan, it was the barbarians who first set fire to the grassland by the Angchenoer Lake, so that we can't find it." The horse was fed for the winter, and I heard that our soldiers were burned to death, the eldest prince had no choice but to fight back!"

"Burn our soldiers to death?" Lama Sharpa suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "Did you burn our soldiers to death? Are you sure? How did you burn them to death? Has our camp been burned?"

"This..." Zhai Sang was a little hesitant. He originally wanted to talk nonsense about how many soldiers were burned to death, but considering that he didn't have a good confession with E Zhe and others beforehand, Lin Dan, who likes to shirk responsibility when he is not good at the future, The father and son might have let themselves be blamed, so Zhai Sang could only answer vaguely: "The barbarians didn't dare to burn our camp, but just set some fires on the grassland. Later, I heard from the eldest prince that we have some The patrolling soldiers were burned to death by the barbarians, but I don’t know how many were burned to death, or whether they were burned to death.”

Lama Sharpa glanced at Zhaisang and stopped talking, but he knew very well in his heart that Zhaisang was talking nonsense—the scouts of the Mongolian army were all cavalry. It is even more difficult.Lin Dan also shouted over there: "You bastard, since the Ming Dynasty didn't burn our camp, but just set fire to our soldiers on the grassland, why didn't you come and report to me? Our burned soldiers were at the negotiating table It is a bargaining chip worth a lot of money! Why did you sneak into the hinterland of the Ming country without authorization to give Ming the excuse? Isn’t this an initiative to start a war with Ming? Who gave you the right to start a full-scale war with Ming?”

Zhai Sang was at a loss for words, quickly changed the subject and said, "Khan, don't be angry with the eldest prince, first think of a way to save the eldest prince and our [-] army. They are surrounded by barbarian troops, and it is difficult to break through. Come out, and there is very little water in that area, if you don't think of a way to save them, the eldest prince and our [-] army will be finished!"

"Bastard, let him die!" Lin Dan flew up again, kicking the fallen table more than a foot away, and roared: "It ruined my big business, let him die, die!" The sooner the better! Even if he can come back alive, he won't be able to inherit my position in this life!"

Seeing that Lin Dan was so angry, Zhaisang knelt on the ground in fright, and did not dare to say anything for a long time, but Lama Sharpa clasped his hands together and said, "Don't get angry, the Khan, it's important to find a way to rescue the eldest prince and the [-] troops right now." , the rest can be discussed later. No matter what, the eldest prince is always your own son, and the [-] troops who are with him are also your people and soldiers. The Mongolian ministries will explain."

"What can I save?" Lin Dan waved his hands angrily, and said rather discouraged: "What else can I do? If Ming Guo is asked to release people, Ming Guo will definitely put forward a lot of harsh conditions. Let them go. If we raise troops to rescue them, it will be equivalent to a full-scale war with the Ming Dynasty. Let’s not talk about whether we will win or not. As long as the Ming Dynasty completely closes the border markets, the food shortage will kill us half of our lives.”

"At this point, there is no other good way." Lama Sharpa said quickly: "The Great Khan can only act first, and immediately summon the envoy of the Ming Kingdom to lodge a strong protest to the Ming Kingdom, protesting that their army set fire to the grasslands." , burned many of our Mongolian soldiers to death, demanded compensation from the Ming Dynasty, and unconditionally released our surrounded [-] troops! Otherwise, we will sever diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty, and sign an alliance with Dajin to fight against The Ming Kingdom is at war!"

"But in this way, what if the Ming Dynasty doesn't accept our conditions, starts a war with us and closes the border market?" Lin Dan asked worriedly.Lama Sharpa said darkly: "What Ming is most afraid of now is a three-sided war. The envoys of Ming will also weigh the consequences. At least they have to bargain with us. As long as Ming is willing to bargain, then we can Re-open negotiations with them, and when the time comes, we will protest first and take the initiative, and we can rescue the eldest prince and the [-] army with the smallest cost."

"There is no other way, and this is the only way." Lin Dan looked gloomy, pointed at Zhai Sang and shouted: "Listen, the envoy from the Ming Kingdom will come later, and you say that the barbarians set fire on the grassland and burned 300 of us to death." Soldiers, give me the truth first!" Zhai Sang hurriedly kowtowed in agreement, and Lin Dan shouted again: "Come on, call the envoy of the Ming Kingdom for me."

The Mongolian guards clasped their fists in agreement, and hurriedly took orders to leave.After a while, Song Xiance, who had been stranded in Chahanhot, was led into Wan'an Palace, and Lin Dan's second son Abnai, who had been spending time with Song Xiance every day recently, also came to the scene. Lin Dan opened his mouth to protest, but Song Xiance was the first to say: "Huduntu Dahan, I am officially representing the Ming Dynasty court, and I lodge the strongest protest to you! During the negotiation with Daming to extend the covenant, you even sent troops to attack the hinterland of our Xuanfu in Daming , This is a despicable act of unilaterally tearing up the covenant. On behalf of the Ming court, I request you to explain this and compensate for all the losses caused by this move to our Ming! Otherwise, all consequences caused by it will be borne by you Mongolia Unilaterally responsible!"

"You already know?" Lin Dan frowned. He didn't expect Song Xiance to have such good news in Chahanhot City.I never thought that Abu Nai rushed to say: "Father Khan, I also know that just now when General Zhaisang's defeated soldiers entered the city, I happened to accompany Mr. Song Xiance on a tour of the city, and asked General Zhaisang's soldiers about it. What happened before and after. The elder brother is too outrageous. He actually betrayed his promise and attacked Da Ming’s Wanquan City. As a result, he was surrounded by Master Zhang Haogu of Daming and led our [-] army to death. Father Khan, you must teach yourself a lesson this time. Big brother eat!"

"Shut up!" Lin Dan roared angrily, wishing he could kick Abnai's dear son to death, then pointed at Song Xiance and shouted: "Since you have heard about it, do you know that your Ming army is on the grasslands?" Set fire and burned more than 300 soldiers of our Mongolia to death! Isn’t this your army of the Ming Dynasty who started the war first? Isn’t this your treachery?”

"What else?" Song Xiance was slightly taken aback, but after thinking about it, Song Xiance suddenly understood that it might be true that Xuanda's army set fire to the fire, but if it really burned the Mongolian soldiers to death, Lin Dan must have taken this matter a long time ago When the bargaining chips on the negotiating table forced Daming to make concessions, Lin Dan emphasized that it was definitely just trying to shirk responsibility and frame the blame.Thinking about this, Song Xiance immediately laughed out loud, leaning back and forth, laughing so hard that Lin Dan felt guilty and his face changed color, forcing Lin Dan to shout again: "Why are you laughing? Your Ming army was burned to death. Isn't this funny, our Mongolian soldiers?"

"Huduntu Khan, what I'm laughing at is that you, such a wise and mighty Khan, can even believe such stupid words?" Song Xiance pointed to the outside, and said with a smile: "Khan, let's not say that our Ming army has You didn’t set fire, now go to the grassland and set a fire to see if you can burn 300 people to death?” Abu Nai couldn’t help interjecting, “Father Khan, the fire on the grassland killed more than 300 of us, How is this possible? Our soldiers don’t have horses? Don’t have legs? Seeing the grassland on fire, they stand there stupidly and burn it? Brother must be lying to you, trying to shirk his responsibility.”

"Abunai, shut up and get out!" Lin Dan blushed, and quickly asked the guards to drive Abnai out of Wan'an Palace.Song Xiance laughed again: "Khan, since you said that we burned your soldiers to death, have you caught the soldiers we set fire to? And where are the bodies of soldiers we burned to death? If you take the thief, you have to take the double. If you can make us bear the responsibility of killing Mongolian soldiers, then our Ming army can also condemn it-this year’s Hejian earthquake (earthquake) in Daming is your Mongolian army. Shaking on the ground!"

Lin Dan was speechless, and Lama Sharpa took over the conversation, and said lightly: "Mr. Song, we can find all the evidence you want, but it will take time, and now is not the time to talk about it , now our Mongolian army of [-] is surrounded by your Ming army in the Yinshan Mountains, during which time our soldiers were also killed by you countless times, how do you plan to explain this? Your Ming army is setting fire and killing people, or Surrounding our Mongolian army in a dead place with no water and no food, is this a signal for your Ming country to declare war on our Mongolia? If this is the case, then our Great Khan will be forced to fight and declare a full-scale war on your Ming Dynasty!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Lin Dan wiped off his cold sweat and shouted, "If your Ming country doesn't release our besieged troops immediately and compensate us for all our losses, then I can declare that Mongolia will declare war on your Ming country! At the same time We also want to conclude an alliance with Dajin, and join forces to fight against your Ming country!"

"Great Khan, Master Sharpa, you seem to be saying the wrong thing?" Song Xiance confronted, "You were the ones who crossed the border first, you were the ones who attacked Wanquan City, and you were the ones who killed our Ming soldiers in the battle." You are even qualified to accuse us, Ming Dynasty, of instigating the war?" Speaking of this, Song Xiance put away his sneer, and said seriously: "Huduntu is sweating profusely, since your eldest son E Zhe was the first to instigate the war, As for the surprise attack on my Daming city, I now officially announce that I will temporarily end the peace negotiations with you Mongolia, and I will not be able to restart the peace negotiations until you give a reasonable explanation to the Ming court and give a satisfactory answer to the Ming court."

"So, you Ming country is trying to force me to form an alliance with Dajin and join forces to start a war against you?" Lin Dan asked with a grim smile.Song Xiance replied neither humble nor overbearing: "Neither the Ming Dynasty court nor I want to see the flames of war reignite, and the lives of people will be ruined, but the Ming court has never been afraid of war, and has never surrendered to anyone. It was the same when the capital of the Ming Dynasty was besieged twice, and it is the same now!" Speaking of this, Song Xiance glanced at Lin Dan, and added on purpose, "Besides, our Daming still holds 5 hostages in our hands. If you tear up the covenant and break your promise, I believe that our Xuanda governor of Ming Dynasty, Zhang Haogu, would be happy to deal with these captives at once, and launch his second northern expedition to the grassland."

"Fight and fight!" Lin Dan was completely enraged, and roared: "You barbarians just rely on Zhang Haogu to fight some wars? Okay, I will go to fight Xuanda first, and destroy Zhang Haogu first." You little barbarian, then enter the Great Wall and destroy your Ming country!"

"Khan, you'd better defeat our Governor Zhang Haogu before you say such a thing." Song Xiance also knew that the war was inevitable, so he hurriedly provoked Lin Dan one after another, so that Lin Dan would not go to Xuanda to harass Jimen.Lin Dan was even more angry, and was about to make some more heroic declarations. Seeing that Song Xiance was not going to let go, the Lama Sharpa hurriedly said: "Khan, it is useless for you to say these things to Mr. Song, he is negotiating. The envoy of the Ming Kingdom who leased the Horqin and Harqin Grasslands, the incident in the Xuan Mansion was an emergency, and he was not qualified to start negotiations with you on this matter before he was appointed by the Ming Dynasty court. In my opinion , Khan, you should first arrange a place for Mr. Song Xiance to live, and then send an envoy to the capital of Daming to negotiate directly with the Emperor of Ming."

"Okay then, it will be arranged by the national teacher." Lin Dan, who is also a paper tiger, snorted coldly, and shouted: "Come on, send the envoy of the Ming Dynasty to the post, so that he can settle down. Without my order, he is not allowed to leave the post. One step further, he is not allowed to contact anyone. Also, by the way, release the Dajin envoys and tell them that as long as they have time, they can come to Wan'an Palace to ask to see me at any time."

"Hmph, as expected, he still bullies the weak and fears the strong." Song Xiance sneered in his heart, escorted by the Mongolian guards, and left Wan'an Palace with his head held high.Just after leaving the main hall, Song Xiance ran into Lin Dan's second son Abu Nai head-on. Hearing that Song Xiance was going to be put under house arrest, the young Abu Nai almost burst into tears, and hurriedly said to Song Xiance: "Mr. Song, don't you I’m afraid, I’m going to see Father Khan right away, begging him to let you go, and please don’t start a war with Daming, and don’t take advantage of those dog Jian slaves in Liaodong!”

"Second prince, thank you for your kindness, but it's useless. Your father Khan is destined to go to war with our Ming Dynasty." Song Xiance shook his head, leaned into Abu Nai's ear, and whispered in Chinese: "Second prince, you If you really want to save me, and your father Khan and your Mongolian people, then you must remember two things! First, if your father Khan goes to attack Daming, you must stay in Chahan Haote, you can’t be with your father Khan. Second, please spread the truth about your elder brother’s sneak attack on the hinterland of Ming Dynasty, so that everyone in Mongolia knows that your elder brother started the war first. Do you understand? "

"Why?" Abnai, who has learned a lot of Chinese from Song Xiance these days, asked in a low voice in Chinese.Song Xiance asked in a low voice: "Don't ask why, you will know in the future, for the sake of the friendly relationship between Daming and Mongolia, and for myself and the second prince, please remember these two things, and you must do it .Otherwise, your life may be in danger."

"My life is still in danger?" Abnai was taken aback.Song Xiance looked at the Mongolian guards on both sides, and saw that they all looked blank, knowing that they didn't understand, he whispered again, "Second prince, if you don't do this, your brother will definitely kill you when he comes back, and you will You will never have the chance to succeed your father Khan. You may not understand these things now, but you will gradually understand them in the future. Remember, I have truthfully reported your closeness to our Ming Dynasty to the Ming court and Master Zhang Haogu, they already know that you are a good prince, and they will definitely repay you in the future."

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Abnai has great trust in Song Xiance, nodded solemnly and said: "Mr. Song, don't worry, I will definitely not let my brother's people talk nonsense, I will go to Otokbak Discuss with old prince Seben and the others, they all like Daming and me, but not Jiannu and my brother, they will definitely help me tell the truth to the people of Mongolia." Song Xiance also knew that these old Mongolian kings were pro-Ming sects , Nodding at ease, then left with head held high.

………………

After following Young Master Zhang for many years, Song Xiance also learned some of Young Master Zhang's ability to predict the enemy before the opportunity. As expected, after Song Xiance was escorted out of Wan'an Palace, Lama Salpa warned Lin Dan: "Khan, please Immediately announce to the Mongolian tribes in the whole grassland that it was the Ming army who burned our soldiers to death first, and Prince Ezhe was forced to fight back! Otherwise, once the Mongolian tribes know that your son initiated the war, then Before we can fight with the Ming army, there will be half chaos inside!"

"I know that." Lin Dan agreed angrily—Lin Dan is too aware of the dependence of the Mongolian tribes on Daming Border City, and also knows that after more than half a century of friendly relations with Daming, Mongolia has cultivated quite a few people. The pro-Ming faction, if these pro-Ming factions know that it was that idiot Ezhe who started the war first, before the war starts, Mongolia will be torn apart first!After thinking about it for a while, Lin Dan asked Lama Sharpa again: "Master, do you think we can start a full-scale war with the barbarians in our current situation? Or, can we join hands with Dajin to declare a full-scale war against the Ming country?"

"If you can fight, it's better not to fight! You can't believe the nonsense of Dajin Kingdom, they just want us to merge with Ming Kingdom, and they won't provide us with even a little bit of help!" Lama Sharpa replied decisively, He also analyzed: "Let's not say that the current Mongolian food shortage situation does not allow us to start a full-scale war with Ming. Even if we are not troubled by food shortages, we don't need to be afraid of Ming's closing border markets for the time being. It will be a huge war of attrition, allowing Dajin to reap the benefits! Therefore, for us, it is better to fight sooner than later, until the national power of the Ming Dynasty is consumed by the Shaanxi rebels and Liaodong Dajin. It is in our best interest to fight again at the right time!"

"That makes sense." Lin Dan nodded, and pondered again: "But in this way, what can we do to save the besieged [-] army and that idiot E Zhe? If we send envoys to bow to the Ming Emperor and agree to his request Strict conditions, ask Ming to release our [-] troops and that idiot Ezhe, then I will not only be ridiculed by those pro-Ming factions in Mongolia, but also those tribes who are close to Dajin will leave me."

"Great Khan, it's actually not difficult, it's just that you confuse the rescue of [-] troops with the all-out war with Ming." Lama Sharpa said darkly, "Great Khan, If you separate these two matters, and continue negotiating an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, and send troops to rescue the besieged [-] troops and Prince Ezhe, wouldn't things be much easier?"

"What do you mean?" Lin Dan's IQ obviously hasn't reached the level of Lama Sharpa, and he can only become more and more confused as he listens. Isn't Zhe that idiot just going to war with the barbarians?"

"It's very simple, Khan, you just have to declare war on the little barbarian Zhang Haogu alone." Lama Sharpa replied with a sly smile: "In our Mongolia, there are many tribes who have a good impression of the Ming Kingdom, but hate Zhang Haogu. That little barbarian in Haogu has more tribes! Zhang Haogu’s little barbarian expedition to the Horqin and Harqin grasslands in the north, how many Mongolian people have been killed? How many tribes in Mongolia have been slaughtered? Our Mongolian tribes like to marry each other. Among the tribes slaughtered by Zhang Haogu's little barbarian, how many Mongolian tribes are related to them? So you only need to use the banner of revenge for the Mongolian tribes in Horqin and Karaqin grasslands, and deal with that little barbarian Zhang Haogu alone If you declare war, not only will all the tribes in Mongolia not oppose you, but they will support you with all your strength."

"Declare war on Zhang Haogu little barbarian alone?" Lin Dan was dumbfounded at first, and after thinking about it for a long time, Lin Dan slapped his thigh fiercely and shouted happily: "If you declare war on Zhang Haogu little barbarian alone, then all the Mongolian tribes will not object , will support me, and at the same time, I can rescue my son at will, as well as the [-] army surrounded by Zhang Haogu's little barbarians!"

"That's right, that's the reason, and there are many benefits to declaring war against Zhang Haogu's little barbarian alone." Lama Sharpa put on an expression of a good teacher who was earnestly teaching, and patiently explained: "Khan, you can send a The envoy went to the capital of the Ming Kingdom and declared to the Ming Emperor that we, Mongolia, have no intention of going to war with the Ming Dynasty, nor will we abandon our covenant with the Ming Dynasty. It is just that Zhang Haogu, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, was too deceitful, and first killed dozens of us. Tens of thousands of Mongolian people set fire to the grasslands and burned our Mongolian soldiers to death. When our army asked him to settle accounts, he surrounded our army again and again and again destroyed the relationship between Mongolia and Ming. Covenant. So, Khan, you have no choice but to ask the Ming court to deal with that little barbarian Zhang Haogu severely, otherwise, Khan, you have no choice but to lead the Mongolian army to settle accounts with that little barbarian Zhang Haogu.”

"In the end, your envoy, Great Khan, can make a solemn statement." Lama Sharpa continued: "You sent troops to announce the great Khan, just to resolve the personal grievances between Mongolia and the little barbarian Zhang Haogu. You did not deliberately provoke a war. I don’t want to start a full-scale war with Ming, so I hope the Ming court will understand and exercise restraint, and don’t use this as an excuse to close the border market and declare war on Mongolia. Otherwise, we Mongolia will also declare war on Ming, and we will conclude an alliance with Dajin and jointly attack Ming country!"

Speaking of this, Lama Sharpa smiled, "In this way, the court of the Ming Dynasty is worried that we will form an alliance with Dajin, which will lead to a war on three sides. There will definitely be disagreements internally, and they will not be able to come up with an answer for a while, and they will not respond immediately. We declared war and immediately closed the border market; and you took the opportunity to unite all the tribes in Mongolia under the banner of crusade against Zhang Haogu's little barbarians, and quickly sent your troops south to attack Xuanda and rescue the trapped army. When the Ming Dynasty court responded, You have rescued our besieged army and the great prince, and even defeated the little man Zhang Haogu. At that time, the Ming court can only push the boat along, continue to maintain the alliance with our Mongolia, continue to open the border market, and help We in Mongolia have survived the food shortage, and at the same time, you can take the opportunity of avenging the Mongolian people to further establish your prestige in the Mongolian grasslands, demonstrate your military might, and make the Ming court and Liaodong Dajin even more respectful of you. to please you!"

"Wonderful! Let's do this!" Lin Dan was so happy that he slapped his thighs and jumped up, laughing: "Yes, as long as we declare war on that little barbarian Zhang Haogu alone, we can avoid our internal division, and we can also avoid a full-scale war with the Ming court. Going to war can also increase my prestige, which is really wonderful!"

"Khan, this plan is brilliant, but we must move quickly." Lama Sharpa warned: "Emperors of the Ming Dynasty never bowed their heads to the enemy. If our actions are slow, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty may attack us. All-out war has been declared, and by that time, Horqin and the Mongolian tribes of the Karaqin tribe, who have already surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and have hatred against you, suddenly stabbed us in the back, and that would be a big deal!"

"Okay, I will assemble the army today and set off in three days." Lin Dan nodded quickly, and then hummed: "As for Horqin and Harqin, I will also arrange an army to monitor them. If they dare to make any changes, I will clean them up." Zhang Haogu, the little savage, turn around and deal with him!"

Ever since, a miracle in the history of war appeared, a semi-independent dependent country declared war on an official of the suzerain country!And Lama Sharpa's move is really ruthless. I heard that Lin Dan didn't go to war with Daming, but just went to seek revenge from Zhang Gou Shao, who killed people like hemp on the Mongolian grassland. The resistance inside Mongolia was indeed much smaller, quite a few The pro-Ming tribes willingly accepted Lin Dan's order, sent troops to accompany Lin Dan on the expedition, and went to Xuanda to find Master Zhang to settle accounts. In addition, the Chahar army directly controlled by Lin Dan and the permanent army of Lin Dan's hardcore supporters in Chahanhot , The number of Mongolian troops soon reached an astonishing 20, and the number is still increasing rapidly!Lin Dan didn't waste any time, he just sent an envoy to the capital of Daming to deal with the snakes, while under the banner of avenging the innocent victims of Mongolia, he personally led the army to the south, and went straight to Xuanda to find Master Zhang to settle the score.

In this way, Yu Huang, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty who volunteered to declare war on Mongolia, took the book of the Ming Dynasty and finally crossed the desert grassland to Chahanhot. Chase, all the way to the north of Xuanda.However, Yu Huang, who didn't know the road very well and was delayed for some time, finally met Lin Dan at the southern edge of the Hunsandake Desert, and read the Ming Dynasty's letter to Lin Dan, asking Lin Dan to accept the harshness of the Ming court, which was so harsh that Lin Dan could be regarded as an official. Only the condition of the trousers can prevent Ming Meng from going into full-scale war, but Lin Dan knelt down in front of Yu Huang with a plop, hugged Yu Huang's leg and cried loudly, "Accept! I accept all the conditions offered by the Ming court! Just ask You Ming must never declare war on our Mongolia! Also, hurry up and grab Mr. Zhang Haogu who is behind me, he is catching up again——!"

"The third brother is here?" Yu Huang raised his head in surprise and took a closer look. As far as he could see, there were cavalrymen from various tribes in Mongolia, all holding their knives and shouting, "Catch Lin Dan alive! Dedicated to Mr. Zhang Haogu— —!”
