Chapter 468 Daming took the initiative to do things in Liaodong for the first time(1/2)
The whole thing was strange everywhere. If you didn't find out clearly, you would be really unsure and dare not do any moves, so Huang Taiji chose to actively defend.
But things were not as Huang Taiji had expected. Ming Jun mobilized more actively and made a stance like Mount Tai was pressing down on the top.
And in Shanhaiguan.
Zhu Youxiao was placing troops and waiting for people to come to the door.
He was waiting for people from Nekharkha and Korqin. These two groups of people came to Shanhaiguan to discuss the next plan with him.
Many people are also worried, what if Nei Khalkha and his people don’t come? After all, Zhu Youxiao has nothing else in his hands, only Bumubutai, a little Mongolian girl, who seems a little too weak to use as a hostage.
However, Zhu Youxiao was not in a hurry, looking like an old god.
In fact, there is no secret to Zhu Youxiao now. Jiannu put too much pressure on Mongolia, and Lin Danhan was also eyeing him.
Whether it is Korqin or Neikalkha, they are all very panicked. On the contrary, the Ming Dynasty did not have that much pressure on them.
We have been fighting for more than two hundred years, aren’t we still like this?
Can the Ming Dynasty attack the grassland or occupy the grassland?
It is simply impossible. Therefore, the threat from the Ming Dynasty is not that great. Whether it is Lin Danhan or Jiannu, it is the main threat to Mongolia. Under such circumstances, Mongolia will definitely choose to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to think about it.
In the original history, Mongolia did this, but the Ming Dynasty was useless. Neikhalka even came to save the Ming Dynasty.
However, when they arrived, the Ming Dynasty had already lost Shenyang and Liaoyang, and Tieling was gone, which caused them to lose a battle, and even the leader of the tribe was arrested.
The situation is far from what it was in the original history, so Mongolia is more confident in cooperating with the Ming Dynasty.
The fact is just as Zhu Youxiao expected. Three days after Wu Keshan returned, the Mongolians arrived at Shanhaiguan, and there were really two big figures.
Korchin's leader, Oba Taiji, came here in person this time, obviously on the one hand to express sincerity, and on the other hand to believe that the Ming Dynasty would not break the contract.
This kind of trust is really rare, which Zhu Youxiao did not expect. Originally, he thought that the person who came back should be Wu Keshan, at least there was a cooperation between the two parties, and Wu Keshan was Oba Taiji's son, so he could represent his father.
As for the Neikhalkha side, the toughest man among the five Neikhalkha tribes - Anntaiji of the Zarut tribe. In addition, there is the leader of the Neikhalkha league, Zhuoliktu.
The three of Oba Taiji can be said to be powerful figures and have the final say.
The arrival of Oba Taiji and the other three made Zhu Youxiao feel very satisfied and the planning was very successful.
Oba Taiji and the other two arrived in Guangning first, and then were sent to Shanhaiguan.
As for asking Zhu Youxiao to go to Shanhaiguan to meet Oba Taiji and the others, it is impossible. First of all, it is unrealistic in status, and secondly, Zhu Youxiao will not take that risk.
Zhu Youxiao came to Liaodong because he did things, and he definitely did not come at risk. Whenever he had something, the Ming Dynasty would be over. For Zhu Youxiao, it is very important to ensure his own safety.
After arriving at Shanhaiguan, Oba Taiji and the other two rested for a night and were taken to Zhu Youxiao the next day.
Oba Taiji and the other two knew that they were coming to meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so they were very respectful in their attitude. After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Oba Taiji and others bowed directly and said, "Neikal Cadrakhuriktu, Zarut Ann, Korqin Aoba, see His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Oba Taiji and the other two, and said with a smile: "Everyone is exempt from tribute. Come on, hold a wine and give a banquet!"
After meeting, don’t talk about anything else, drink and eat meat first.
The reason why many people like to talk about things at the table is that everyone is not familiar with it. After drinking wine and eating meat together, the atmosphere will be eased and the relationship will be much closer.
Zhu Youxiao also has such a relationship, especially people like Oba Taiji.
Soon, the wine and meat were placed on it.
This time, Zhu Youxiao also gave up the book and arranged all kinds of good wine and dishes.
You know, in Mongolia, although Oba Taiji and others were nobles and leaders, it was not easy to have such a meal.
It’s not that I can’t bear to let go, but that I don’t have it.
Oba Taiji and the other two were not polite. After sitting down, they started eating and drinking, eating meat in big mouthfuls and drinking in big bowls.
The Ming Dynasty’s spirits have always been treasures for Oba Taiji and others, not to mention that the wine from Zhu Youxiao is a good thing. What ordinary people cannot get is the wine brewed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In this regard, Zhu Youxiao even intervened and told Oba Taiji and others about something from later generations.
Although the wine culture of this era has been very advanced and the things brewed are also very good, some things are still not as good as those of future generations.
After the three bowls of wine were eaten, Oba Taiji and the other two were relieved, and there was more laughter between eating and drinking, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious.
However, Zhu Youxiao is not ready to say something. He will entertain and then talk about things.
If it is placed in later generations, it is to eat, drink, sing and sing, and have some nightlife in the evening, and only discuss business the next day.
Originally, Zhu Youxiao planned so that he could eat and drink well, so he would talk about it tomorrow.
However, it is obvious that Oba Taiji and the other two have something to do in their hearts. Although they drink a lot of alcohol, they obviously don’t drink too much.
After the wine and food were removed, the tea was brought up. You can tell from the atmosphere that it was important to talk about the matter.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Oba Taiji and asked directly: "Do you have anything else to ask about the alliance?"
Oba Taiji stood up and said directly: "We want to verify something, about the alliance. Is what His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty said true? Are you willing to give up the three guards of Duoyan?"
Oba Taiji and the others were very suspicious about this matter. If it weren't for the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, they wouldn't believe it.
You should know that the three guards of Duoyan have been making trouble with the Ming Dynasty for a long time. However, in recent decades, the three guards of Duoyan have been more dependent on the Ming Dynasty and can be regarded as the younger brother of the Ming Dynasty.
However, after Lin Dankhan took office, the three guards of Duoyan fell to Lin Dankhan again. The relationship between the two sides was complicated, and it was unlikely that the Ming Dynasty would support Mongolia to annex the three guards of Duoyan.
"Of course it's true." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "You also know what Duoyan Sanwei did. Daming does not want to be friends with such a person, and such a person should be eliminated."
Obadaiji looked at Zhu Youxiao and said with a serious face: "What about other aspects?"
"You don't have to worry about trade. After the three guards of Duoyan are destroyed, I will rebuild a city in Daning City. In this city, the three of us can do business here. And this city is jointly managed by us."
This is the benefit Zhu Youxiao gave them.
If you don’t draw big cakes in advance, how can you get caught?
Oba Taiji and the others will definitely eat this cake. Even if they feel that there is danger, they will choose to agree without hesitation.
Obataiji and Dorriktutu looked at each other for a moment, both of them hesitated.
Although Zhu Youxiao agreed very well, it is really hard to say what happened afterwards. Oba Taiji and the others were a little silent.
"You can rest assured about this matter, we can write it into the covenant." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "The reputation of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is much better than that of you, right?"
Although Oba Taiji and the others were a little embarrassed, they didn't care.
That's how they came here. However, Zhu Youxiao's words also touched their hearts. The reputation of the Ming Dynasty must be better than that of them.
So Obadaiji and the others agreed to this matter. After all, it hasn't happened yet, so they can't let the other party take out anything to guarantee it.
"And don't worry, before this war begins, I will give you a batch of weapons, armor and swords and guns." Zhu Youxiao said directly: "I will sell it to you at a very low price."
Of course, it cannot be given away for nothing, it must be charged money. Zhu Youxiao has never seen or heard of reselling arms in later generations.
Some people even did the matter of selling arms to both sides in later generations, and they did a lot of fun.
Zhu Youxiao even found all the weapons, which were replaced by the Liaodong army.
Since the start of construction of Baigong Academy, water conservancy stamping machines have been continuously operating, and steel mills have been constantly making steel, and a large amount of military equipment has been produced from Baigong Academy. Zhu Youxiao has been renovating it in Liaodong, and large-scale assembly line production has made the construction cost very low. Now the army in Liaodong uses new types of military equipment, and the original ones have been eliminated.
These things melted in place and could only be used to make picks, hoes and shovels, and there were no use in places like Liaodong. If they were transported back to Beijing to rebuild, the freight was higher than their value.
So these things are now useless, and they are tasteless and a pity to throw them away. Many of them are piled up directly in the warehouse.
This time, Zhu Youxiao was planning to take them out, on the one hand, to form alliances to express his sincerity, and on the other hand, to sell them, sell them at a good price and open up sales.
Although you earn less in the early stage, it may not be certain in the later stage.
The profits of arms trade are something that many people can go crazy about.
Zhu Youxiao had a bright smile on his face and looked very honest, but he was already thinking about how to cheat people.
As for the fact that they have weapons and equipment, will it be difficult for the Ming Dynasty to deal with them in the future?
Zhu Youxiao didn't care at all. The gap between big swords and spears and firearms is something that has been proven before, so there is no need to worry about it. As long as Zhu Youxiao does what he wants to do, Mongolia will become good at singing and dancing and hospitality.
Oba Taiji was already moved. Not to mention anything else, just these weapons are a batch of good things.
Although some of them were smuggled before, the price was very high and the quality was not guaranteed. Many of them were built privately by merchants themselves, and they were not as good as the ordnances of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Oba Taiji and the others and said with a smile: "You can come here and I can wait for you here, which proves each other's sincerity. So now we need to let go of our guard and have some discussions."
Oba Taiji and the other two looked at it and nodded together, as if they agreed with Zhu Youxiao's words.
With this main tone, things become much simpler.
The three parties began negotiations. First, the first round was that Zhu Youxiao was responsible for restraining Huang Taiji in Liaodong and winning time for Mongolia to fight. Korqin and Neikalkha would take this opportunity to launch an offensive and directly destroy the three guards of Duoyan.
As for how to divide the territory and how to share the spoils? This is the Mongolians’ own business.
After this battle, they were responsible for restraining Jiannu. Once the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu went to war, they would help.
In fact, in this matter, the two sides just reached an agreement on the surface, but they were just incompatible with each other.
The Ming Dynasty wanted to destroy Jiannu, Mongolia would definitely agree. But Liaozhong and they would never give it to the Ming Dynasty.
Once the Ming Dynasty occupied Liaodong, it would definitely turn the gun at Mongolia. Moreover, Mongolia could not not covet the Liaodong area.
Once the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu went to war, Mongolia would likely wait for an opportunity to act. Once there was a chance, it would swallow the Ming Dynasty and then occupy Liaodong by itself. This would make it bigger and face Lin Dankhan.
Zhu Youxiao also has this little thought. As the saying goes, how can you allow others to sleep soundly next to the bed?
How can I give it to Mongolians in that place in Daning?
