Qiming 1158

Chapter 754

For the Tatar Department, Wei Ke first knew a lot.

Because his main duty is to guard against this Tatar Department, after leading troops stationed in Linhuang Mansion, he constantly sends people to inquire about the news of the Tatar Department, and occasionally sends people to sneak over to inquire about the news, thinking about preventing problems before they occur.

Around Linhuang Mansion, he also chose dangerous terrain to arrange defense, setting up many outposts, military camps, beacon towers, etc., and built a very proper early warning system.

Then, they will train troops whenever they have time, mainly to deter the Tatars, whose relationship with Jin Guo is unclear.

After destroying the Jin Kingdom, from the mouths of the old officials of the Jin Kingdom, Wei Kexian and other senior officials of the Ming army learned of their vassal relationship with the Tatar Ministry.

The Tata'er tribe once surrendered to the Liao State, and later surrendered to the Jin State. Backed by the Jin State, they fought against the powerful Kelie and Qiyan tribes, and once made great contributions to the Jin State.

For example, the Tatars once designed to capture a khan of the Kelie tribe, called Amba Boy Khan, and gave him to the people of Jin. nailed to a wooden donkey.

Afterwards, the Tatars repeated their old tricks and killed another important high-ranking high-ranking mediator, Baerhehei, and became a deadly feud with the Kelie Department, and there was no possibility of reconciliation between them.

Therefore, the Tatar people still have a relatively large demand for the Jin Kingdom, not only economic needs, but also military needs.

In the same way, since the establishment of the Jin Kingdom, it has also faced constant threats from the Mongolians on the grasslands.

Those Wanyans who made great achievements in the battle against the Northern Song Dynasty also led their troops to attack the grasslands, but they did not achieve any major results.

The Jurchens are not nomadic people after all, and after entering the Central Plains, they quickly became sinicized, and the main type of army is also infantry, not cavalry.

They even wanted to use the god-arm archers to crusade the steppe cavalry, but of course the final result was not good.

After going back and forth, the Jin people also learned to use their internal contradictions to contain the prairie cavalry southwards, and used the deep blood feud between the Tatar tribe and the Kelie, Qiyan and other tribes to provoke them to fight, so that their hatred became more profound and let them There is no way to make it bigger.

This really works.

Of course, the Tatars are not completely surrendered to the Jin Kingdom. If the Jin Kingdom's policy is wrong and their interests are damaged, they can also unite with other grassland tribes to resist the tyranny of the Jin Kingdom.

But overall, the relationship between Tatar and Jin Guo is more cooperative than confrontational.

However, two years ago, the Ming Kingdom rose rapidly, defeated the main force of the Jin army in a short period of time, conquered the Central Capital, and the Jin Kingdom suddenly perished, which was a big shock to the Tatar people.

The Tatar people quickly learned the news that the Jin Kingdom was over, and they also knew that the Ming army was in the entire Liaodong crusade against the remnants of the Jin Kingdom, because Wanyan Yong had sent people to hope that the Tatar people could send troops to help, but the Tatar people were defeated by the Tatar people. The Tarr refused.

They would not be loyal ministers and good generals for the impending collapse of the Jin Kingdom.

But then again, they don't know how the newly-born Daming Kingdom treats them, and they are worried that they will be at a disadvantage in dealing with the Qiyan and Kelie departments after losing the support of the Ming Kingdom, so this time The mission is very meaningful to them.

Wei Ke first sent someone to rush to Zhongdu to tell Su Yonglin about this.

Soon, Su Yonglin found out about this matter and the demands of the Tatar people. He looked at the grassland map left by Jin Guo, and after some thought, Su Yonglin decided to let Wei Kexian send someone to escort the Tatar people. All the envoys came to see him.

On the third day of September in the second year of Hongwu, under the escort of 1000 members of the Liaodong Corps, the Tatar envoys officially arrived in Zhongdu.

They were greeted by two officials, one civil and one military.

The text was written by Chen Guangyuan, the former official of Honglu Temple in the Jin Kingdom who was in charge of diplomatic work in the Ming Dynasty and the current minister of Honglu Temple in the Ming Dynasty.

Those who are armed are Li Xiao, the second commander of the Yanyun Corps, and 1000 elite Beiwei troops led by him.

They greeted the envoys of the Tatars ten miles northeast of Zhongdu City. They were magnificent, their armor was bright, their banners were clear, uniform, and their military appearance was extremely strict.

Looking at such a stern military appearance, and looking at the fierce Liaodong cavalry around him, Zherimu, the head of the Tatar envoys, swallowed, feeling that this Ming Dynasty is more people than the previous Jin Kingdom. pressure.

This is a downhill horse.

After seeing the army, he immediately saw Chen Guangyuan, the Minister of Honglu Temple, who was smiling all over his face, and Li Xiao, who had a dark face, as if everyone in the world owed him 100 taels of gold and hadn't paid him back.

"Chen Guangyuan, the minister of the Honglu Temple in the Ming Dynasty, has seen your envoy."

Chen Guangyuan was white and chubby, with a lovely smile, so that people wouldn't feel bad when they saw him.

"Commander of Yanyun Corps, Li Xiao."

Li Xiao is tall, bearded, and has a fierce look on his face. Smiling is more terrifying than not smiling.

Zherimu then bit the bullet and cupped his hands with Li Xiao, and then directly greeted Chen Guangyuan.

Chen Guangyuan took Zhelimu into the car with a smile, and chatted with Zhelimu along the way, talking about their friendship with the Central Plains Dynasty, and talking about the interruption two years ago due to some minor changes in the Central Plains regime, and then Start looking to the future...

"Wait a minute, what Mr. Chen means is that Emperor Daming is willing to continue the relationship with us Tatar?"

Zherimu listened to Chen Guangyuan's nonsense, and felt that he was about to fall asleep. He suddenly heard that Chen Guangyuan began to look forward to the future, and suddenly became interested.

"Of course, why not?"

Chen Guangyuan smiled and nodded and said, "If not, how could His Majesty the Daming Emperor let you to come to the Central Capital? His Majesty the Daming Emperor knew about the cooperation between your Tatar Department and the Jin Kingdom before, and he felt that you did a good job, so I made a proposal to you. praise."

Zerimu was confused.

"His Majesty the Emperor Daming doesn't think that the relationship between the Tatar people and the Jin people was not good?"

"Emperor Daming doesn't see things so narrowly."

Chen Guangyuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Emperor Daming thinks that the Kingdom of Jin has passed away and no longer exists, and it is meaningless to talk about the Kingdom of Jin, and it is foolish to limit the relationship between the two parties to the framework of the people of the Kingdom of Jin.

So what we are going to talk about next is the future of Daming and the Tatars. Since the Qiyan and Kelie departments will harass the borders of the Jin Kingdom, it is hard to say whether they will also harass the borders of Daming.

Daming will not be merciful to anyone who interferes and harassing the border, and since the Tatar Department has helped the Jin Kingdom fight against the Kled and Qiyan forces, it will definitely help Daming fight against the Kled and Qiyan forces. Do you think what the Ming emperor said was right? "

Seeing Chen Guangyuan's warm smile, Zherimu nodded immediately.

"Yes! Yes! Of course it is! How could it be wrong? It is absolutely right! This is the reason why I came to see His Majesty the Emperor Daming on the order of the leader! We very much hope to clarify this matter with His Majesty the Emperor Daming. !"

Chen Guangyuan laughed and waved his hand.

"His Majesty the Emperor Daming also hopes to clarify this issue with you. That's even better. Let's go to Zhongdu to meet His Majesty, and then open up and discuss all the issues clearly."

"Okay! Talk about it!"

Jerimu was very happy.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at Zhongdu City, and Zherimu was a little surprised when he looked at the magnificent and tall Zhongdu City.

"In the past, I had been to Zhongdu to visit the then emperor of the Jin Kingdom. At that time, Zhongdu didn't seem to be that tall..."

"Of course, because after His Majesty Emperor Daming ascended the throne, he expanded the Central Capital. This is just the beginning. His Majesty the Emperor Daming intends to eventually expand the Central Capital to three times the original size."

"three times?"

Zherimu was very surprised: "it's already that big now, how big is three times bigger?"

"It's as big as it gets. It doesn't matter how big the capital is."

Chen Guangyuan pointed at Zhongdu City and said: "The future Zhongdu will be higher and bigger, and it will become the largest giant city in the world, far exceeding any giant city in the past, just like the national situation of the Ming Dynasty. Don!"

Zherimu looked at Chen Guangyuan and found that his eyes were shining, a kind of light called confidence.

He didn't lie, he believed what he said.

Zherimu didn't say much, and followed Chen Guangyuan into Zhongdu City from the side gate of Nancheng.
