4ooo liang silver, let the Mongols guard Guangning together. ￡∝ small,...o of course, the price increased to 40,000 taels of silver in the second year. To put it bluntly, this is actually not a too close ally relationship, but a mercenary system that is more common among ethnic minorities.&1t;/p>

But the poverty of the Mongols is true.&1t;/p>

Comparing the productivity of the Ming Dynasty and the productivity of the Mongols, once the two sides started trade, the precious metals of the Mongols naturally disappeared quickly, especially these Mongolian nobles needed to enjoy. The fur and wool that the Mongols could produce were not well-known for deep processing. Of course, they knew some processing technology, but they were too backward, and the things they made were more practical and looked bad, and no one wanted them to sell them to the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>

So the Mongolians sold raw materials and could only exchange them for some tea.&1t;/p>

The only valuable thing is the war horse, but it is not valuable to sell it to the Ming Dynasty official. If it is sold to the Shanxi merchants, it is actually only a little valuable.&1t;/p>

Shanxi merchants went deep into the Mongolian grasslands to trade. They had to take risks, but they also had to bribe border soldiers. If they didn’t have enough profits, they would not do this. If they had enough profits, the price of horses would naturally not be much higher.&1t;/p>

As long as there is more money, you can buy more luxury goods. For a social structure like Mongolian aristocrats who control a large number of resources, Mongolian aristocrats feel that the great significance of living is enjoyment. However, the Mongolians are destined to not produce many luxury goods, but they have to enjoy it, so no matter how much money they have, they naturally cannot withstand such spending.&1t;/p>

For Mongolian Khan like Lin Danhan, he is not particularly short of money, but some of the tribes under his command are very poor, and some are even so poor that they are so poor.&1t;/p>

But even Lin Danhan has limited treasures, enough to spend them himself, but if he wants to win over other Mongolian tribes, he is a little less economic strength.&1t;/p>

The reason why Lin Danhan chose to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty or was hired by him was mainly because after Lin Danhan inherited the throne, he also carried out several plundering activities in the early stage, but the results were very little. He did not grab anything. The tall city walls everywhere in the Ming Dynasty and the cannons on the city walls made Lin Danhan no longer have any way to go south to plunder, although he also wanted to go south to plunder.&1t;/p>

For the sake of life! To live a good life! It is normal to accept employment from the Ming Dynasty to earn some money. As a result, I got into a feud with the wild boar skin. The wild boar skin said to Lin Dan, please submit to me, I will take you to attack the Ming Kingdom.&1t;/p>

Lin Danhan: I have 400,000 Mongolian warriors under my command, and you are only 30,000 Jurchen minions, and you dare to speak out loud!&1t;/p>

Lin Danhan, who felt embarrassed, had a fight with the wild boar skin. People can live for a while! Lin Danhan wanted to let the wild boar skin see who is the boss.&1t;/p>

So before Lin Danhan was defeated by Jiannu, he was still an ally of the Ming Dynasty. However, when he was working hard, he was not too active. He still had to continue his life. It only depends on how much money the Ming Dynasty gave.&1t;/p>

But something very unpleasant was born not long ago. Sun Chengzong expelled the Mongolian tribe in Guangning. The annual 40,000 taels of employment was gone, which made Lin Danhan very angry.&1t;/p>

When the envoy of the Ming Dynasty came to Mongolia, Lin Danhan asked a question and said to the envoy: "Why did your Ming Kingdom expel our tribes in Guangning? Are you trying to be an enemy of our Mongolia?"&1t;/p>

"The Mongolian Khan is calm and restless. Our Ming Dynasty never thought of being an enemy of the Khan. However, those Mongolian tribes harassed and robbed our Ming Baixin in Guangning. We can never sit idly by. And we also want to ask the Khan, why did he invade our Ming Yan'an Prefecture at the beginning of the year?"&1t;/p>

"It was not Ben Khan's idea to rob Yan'an Prefecture, but the tribes of Hetao themselves did it." Lin Dankhan denied, "But you also attack our Guangning tribe."&1t;/p>

"Since both sides have faults, what's the point of exposing this? Our Ming and Mongolia should be united at this time. After all, we have a common enemy. If we are unhappy about these things, we may be proud of Jiannu in the end. Moreover, the Ming Dynasty needs the help of Mongolia, and Mongolia also needs to trade with the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that if we are in harmony, we will benefit both, and if we divide, we will suffer two injuries." The envoy said to Lin Danhan.&1t;/p>

"I, Mongolia, don't have to trade with your Ming government." Lin Danhan said at this time, and the messenger smiled and said, "What the Khan said was to trade with our Ming Dynasty smuggling merchants, right? But did Khan ever think that those smuggling merchants are illegal. We just need to crack down on these smuggling merchants on the border, let alone those silk and satin, even a pound of tea leaves cannot flow into Mongolia. It's just that our emperor took into account the friendship between Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty and did not attack those smuggling merchants."&1t;/p>

Lin Danhan's face changed, and then asked, "What do you want to do this time?"&1t;/p>

"This time, we are here to formally form an alliance with the Khan and jointly deal with the Jiannu of the Later Jin Dynasty," the envoy replied.&1t;/p>

"We Mongolia suffered a snow disaster last year, and we were powerless for a while!" Lin Danhan was not stupid. He would not do anything without benefits.&1t;/p>

"Don't worry, the Mongols don't need to send troops after forming an alliance." The envoy said, which made Lin Danhan roll his eyes. Since he didn't want to hire our Mongolian cavalry, what else is he talking about? So he asked angrily: "What's the alliance?"&1t;/p>

"We can change the way of alliance. Mongolia does not need to dispatch troops. As long as the Khan is willing to sell us some war horses, our Ming Dynasty is willing to exchange them with you with various goods. After the alliance, both sides are not allowed to harass each other anymore. If Mongolia is attacked by Jiannu, our Ming Dynasty is willing to send troops to support Mongolia." The envoy said, and Lin Danhan couldn't help but feel the thought and asked: "How many war horses do you want to buy?"&1t;/p>

"Twenty or three thousand horses, we want as many as we have." The envoy's words made Lin Danhan frown and said, "There are too many, and we Mongolia cannot sell you so many war horses to the Ming Dynasty."&1t;/p>

"Da Khan is not impatient. Our Ming Dynasty is very sincere in buying war horses. We have some gifts here, so please read them. Everything in the gift can be used to trade with Dahan."&1t;/p>

As he said that more than a dozen large boxes were carried in. After opening the boxes, he saw that there were all kinds of silk and satin, iron pots, tea, soju wine needed by the Mongolians, as well as sugar, tobacco, spices, porcelain, and various rouge powder, scented fragrance, Hanhua, and fragrant washing products for their nobles to enjoy.&1t;/p>

Seeing these exquisite goods, Lin Danhan's eyes suddenly shone with a greedy light.&1t;/p>

The envoy then added another fire and said, "As long as the Khan is willing to form an alliance with our Ming Dynasty, our Ming Dynasty is willing to help the Khan stabilize his rule over the Mongolian tribes, and it will definitely make the Khan's rule over the Mongolian tribes as stable as Mount Tai."&1t;/p>

"What do you mean?" Lin Danhan was stunned for a moment and asked the envoy quickly. At this time, Lin Danhan gradually became disconnected from other Mongolian tribes who believed in the Yellow Sect. (To be continued...)&1t;/p>
