Chapter 19                         

The news was soon received.

This group of people was a Tartar mission, but they were rejected by the Ministry of Rites and sent out of Beijing. This team of cavalry belonged to Xuanfu. The two countries were fighting and not killed. But the Tartars had many enemies in the pass. If they did not escort, the Tartar mission might not be able to get out of the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention anything else, if there is no one around, Zhou Mengchen's soldiers would kill a group of people.

What else did Zhou Mengchen think?

The cavalry escorted Zhou Mengchen's noses were not noses, eyes, and many people pressed their hands on the knife.

Those who escorted Zhou Mengchen to Beijing were all elite cavalrymen. Many of them were the old men who followed Zhou Shangwen and had been dealing with the Tartars all their lives, but they always spoke with swords and almost all had conditioned reflexes. When they met Tartars, they meant to draw their swords.

At this moment, when the Tartar envoys were deported, they were all very happy and said, "That's right, what's the point of talking about?"

"One, two, three----"

"What are you counting?"

"A man's head, fifty taels per person, and there are about two or three thousand taels of silver opposite him. It's really greedy if you can see it or not."

After hearing the following discussion, Zhou Mengchen was happy and had a headache for a moment.

I am glad that under his leadership, the Datong cavalry performed well in several major battles and had already developed the arrogance of a victorious army. At least, this army dared to fight even when facing a Tartar cavalry that was several times more than it was. However, the peace talks were always unconcealed.

But I don’t know how to soothe the morale of the military from all over Datong.

These are all problems.

Just when I was watching the Tartar envoys here.

Zhao Quan also saw the people here and asked for it. He heard that it was Zhou Mengchen, the governor of Datong, who returned to Datong. Zhao Quan's eyes suddenly lit up. His eyes swept over everyone else, and finally attracted attention from a person surrounded by people.

Zhao Quan said in his heart: "He is the famous Zhou Mengchen."

He tried hard to remember Zhou Mengchen's appearance in his heart. After all, Zhou Mengchen has been his opponent for a long time. No, he is the opponent of the entire Mongolia.

Zhou Mengchen did not focus on one of the people in the Tartar mission. It was nothing else. Even if Zhou Mengchen presided over the tribute, he did not come forward by himself. The reason was very simple. The identity was not equal. The so-called peace talks were precisely the tribute.

If the Tartars wanted to argue with the Ming Dynasty, the prerequisite was that Xin Ai accepted the title of King of the Ming Dynasty and became a member of the Ming system.

Even if Xin Aizhen becomes the Prince of the Ming Dynasty, he dare not neglect it. Not to mention, Xin Ai himself knows how much power the prince Xin Ai has in the Ming system. Only when his political status with Zhou Mengchen is equal.

That is to say, if Xin Ai attended the negotiations in person.

Zhou Mengchen would only attend. Even if Xin Ai had eaten the courage of the bear heart and leopard, he would not dare to appear in Datong. Zhao Quan was not the one Zhou Mengchen wanted to deal with at all. Therefore, Zhou Mengchen did not pay much attention. It was just that Zhou Mengchen was not without emotion when he saw the Tartar envoy.

Only at this moment did Zhou Mengchen truly feel that the war with the Tartars had reached a new stage.

One month later, in Datong City.

Yin Zhengmao slapped the table and said, "The King of Guihua, you want it if you want it, and fight if you don't want it. Why are all the princes of the Ming Dynasty? All the princes of the Tartars still want to be the king. Let's dream."

Zhao Quan said, "Mr. Yin's words are wrong. My commander is like a cloud, with a million empty strings. He will express his words and everything in the world corresponds. He should have competed with the emperor of the Southern Dynasty. However, God has the virtue of being a virtuous person, so he is willing to discuss peace between the two countries. He is so arrogant that he is willing to discuss peace with the two countries. He is so arrogant and naturalized? How can he do it? Master Yin, you have to think clearly that the cession of the two countries is the overall situation. Don't make it difficult for both sides to have a little face. Don't just think about Datong, but also think about Beijing. Isn't it?"

Yin Zhengmao sneered and said, "Encourt, since you think so, you can go to Beijing to talk."

Then Yin Zhengmao stood up, shook his hand and left.

And more than a dozen members who followed Yin Zhengmao left one after another.

After leaving, the escort next to Yin Zhengmao said, "Sir, it's not great."

Yin Zhengmao sneered and said, "The Tartars are all sluts. If you give him three points of face, he can be arrogant. What is Beijing or not? If we are in Beijing, we will solve the problems in Beijing. We will solve the things in front of us. Since the Lord has decided on the three words "Natural King", we cannot change a single word. I want him to want King Shuo? Where is the place where Shuozhou Bo? That is, General Ma is not here. If General Ma is here, these Tartars will not be enough for General Ma to kill alone."

After a month of brewing, the first negotiations between the Ming and the Tartars began.

The first thing is the question of name.

Zhao Quan said that one character must be the king, that is, the prince. It is either the king of Shuofang or the king of Jiuyuan.

But Zhou Mengchen waved his pen and decided to decide whether to love or not.

So the first conflict between the two sides broke out.

After all, the title of the title of the king is the first to be named ancient countries. Among the many king names, Qin, Jin, Zhao, Wei, Han, Chu, Qi, Yan, Wu and Yue, these ancient countries are the best. However, there are many princes of the Ming Dynasty, and these beautiful names are almost all possessed. Even if there are no names that are possessed, such as the King of Yan, will the Tartars dare to ask for?

The next time is the place name.

The place where Qingcheng is located is ancient Shuofang. Therefore, the name Shuowang is the name.

As for the naturalization of the title of the Prince of Naturalization, you can tell at a glance that the people from foreign tribes are even like the Marquis of Disobedience, and may not have much favor. So Zhao Quancai bit it.

After this place ended unhappily.

Someone on Zhao Quan also objected and said, "Mr. Zhao, the Khan did not mean to be entangled in his name before coming. He ended up in disagreement for this matter. Is there a little bit?"

Zhao Quan said, "You don't know anything. Now that we have just started talking, if we are very weak, how can we talk about it in the future? As long as we fight with the court, we can only fight with the truth and fight with the court a little bit. You also know that the Ming Dynasty's central government is happy to see this matter, and the young master Yan Ge Lao is willing to communicate with us some information. This matter was chaired by Zhou Mengchen. This is smelly and hard, and stubborn. We must be prepared, and there will be some talks this time."

The first day of negotiations ended badly.

Yin Zhengmao naturally wanted to report the news to Zhou Mengchen.

He came to the governor's office and as soon as he agreed, Zhou Mengchen was talking to Yang Jisheng. Yin Zhengmao was drinking tea outside and waiting slowly.

In the yard dozens of meters away from Yin Zhengmao.

Zhou Mengchen and Yang Jisheng were in the account. Right, it was the account. The one that was in the account was not something else. It was the account of the entire Datong Town.

Yang Jisheng said: "Today's autumn harvest, there are 3.5 million stones of grain, all of which are glutinous wheat. People actually have complaints. Brother Zhou doesn't have to worry about it. I eat glutinous wheat for three meals a day, and I don't think so? It's just that some people are full. This glutinous wheat is actually very beneficial. The best place is glutinous wheat stems, which can be used as horse feed. Now there are 70,000 to 80,000 horses of various types in Datong, and the daily horse feed consumption is not small. As horse feed, the glutinous wheat stems are much better than wheat stems. Just this item, even if you want to restore wheat planting in the future, you must retain some land to grow glutinous wheat."

As a military town, the horse feed consumption is also very large.

Forage even needs to be collected from the people as a tax. Not to mention the yield of wheat in dry fields is higher than wheat, straw is much easier to use as horse feed than wheat poles. These characteristics have made Yang Jisheng suddenly turn from a skeptic of wheat planting into a supporter.

As for the croquette is not delicious?

Actually, it can't be said to be not delicious, right? Of course, steamed buns are not as good as white flour. However, these days, there are a few people who eat white flour in luxury these days. As Yang Jisheng said, most of the people who complain that the glutinous rice noodles are not delicious can afford white flour.

The common people only care whether they can eat enough, and who cares about the taste.

Moreover, corn is not bad. It’s just that as a new crop, the people have not mastered the correct cooking method.

Zhou Mengchen said: "That's good. By the way, do you know the silage method? It's to crush the silage poles and then dig a hole to water and seal it for fermentation. When winter comes, you can let the horse eat it."

After hearing this, Yang Jisheng said, "Can this method work?"
