Can you live forever

Chapter 248
On the second day after Zhang Zhixiang left Datong, Que Yong in the General Military Mansion looked at the Tatar envoy in front of him and Zhao Kan's head in the box, feeling very heavy.

He was trampled by Zhang Zhixiang and humiliated. At least Zhang Zhixiang didn't intend to kill him, which means the situation is not too bad.

But An Dahan beheaded Zhao Kan and sent envoys to the capital to pay tribute. This is a big problem. This is not a problem of rebellion, but their control over Mongolia is fading.

At the beginning, the little Mongolian prince still had ambitions and wanted to restore the glory of the Mongolian Empire, but I Dahan was very self-aware and only wanted to pay tribute all the time.

My Dahan is very smart and understands that trade is the best for Mongolia, but the frontier army will not agree.

Mongolia is no longer a threat, how can they support the bandits?
Now that trade is open, how do they cooperate with Shanxi merchants to smuggle and make money?
For Mongolia, only large-scale trade with the Ming Dynasty can exchange enough living materials to allow Mongolia to develop and herdsmen to get rid of the bitter cold and famine outside the Great Wall.

As a wise king, I Dahan understands this.

So he developed agriculture in Fengzhoutan, let some herdsmen learn to farm, and built a city in Fengzhoutan, actively traded with Shanxi merchants, and then continued to conquer the major tribes of Mongolia, and even sent troops to Qinghai and the Western Regions to expand the sphere of influence.

Through the Mongol Empire, the Yuan Dynasty, and the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

The three generations finally cultivated the "nobility". An Dahan understood how to make Mongolia a real country and allow the herdsmen outside the Great Wall to enter civilization.

Since the Hongwu period.

During the reign of An Dahan, Mongolia reached another peak, so that Fengzhoutan was only more than [-] miles away from Datong, but An Dahan dared to offend the Ming frontier army...

No.

If I answered Khan alone, he wouldn't dare to offend him, and it was also because of that badge - the Imperial Teacher of the Ming Dynasty.

But Yong said to the envoy with a gloomy face: "Do you think that Tatars can trade directly with Ming Dynasty without my consent?"

The envoy laughed and said, "When I came here, I saw the poem left by the national teacher on the wall of Datong City. Maybe the commander-in-chief thought it was very powerful, but the commander-in-chief didn't know that on the north bank of the Yellow River, the country Master also used a sword."

"That sword spanned thousands of meters, and the gully was several feet deep."

"It should be able to split the city of Datong."

"Go thousands of miles in the sky with a sword, don't let me go back with the second watch."

"We Khan don't want our heads to be decapitated at night, so we obey the instructions of the national teacher. If the commander-in-chief has any objections, you might as well protest to the national teacher. However, I heard that when the national teacher wrote poems in Datong, he stepped on the head of the general. Written in Master Bing's head..."

Bang!
But Yong took the case, and the envoy was not afraid, but Yong said with a grim expression: "See off!"

The envoys left and passed through Datong smoothly with the envoys. They will present three thousand war horses and many fine furs to the emperor of Ming Dynasty.

The scale of this tribute is not large.

During the reign of Emperor Yingzong, the people of Wala also paid tribute two or three times a year, sending thousands of horses each time, as well as various products on the grassland, and the imperial court gave them back the grain, tea, cloth, and ironware they needed after assessing the value.

Trade is the way out for Mongolia.

The grassland is bitter and cold. Since ancient times, the Han people have eaten more meat than the herdsmen. One Han is the five Hu, not only for combat power, but also for physical fitness.

Because in places with the most abundant water and grass, raising a sheep requires 90 acres of land, and a family of five needs at least [-] sheep to maintain a living, and the premise of maintaining a living is...not slaughtering, but eating cheese.

It takes almost [-] mu of land to feed a family of herdsmen on the grassland.

With such production efficiency, how can the living standards of herders improve?How is it possible to eat meat every day?

Being cold and hungry is the portrayal of life outside the Great Wall.

Even the aristocrats on the grasslands, the envoys also understand what the life of the herdsmen is like. Only by fully opening up trade with Daming can the lives of the herdsmen be improved...

As for the smuggled goods, a catty of salt in Daming is so expensive, how can it be cheaper outside the Great Wall?Can tea be cheap?
Only Kanhe Trade is shopping at the original price!

The envoy took the envoy to the capital with great firmness, and in the General Military Mansion, Datong governor Zhan Rong came after the envoy, looked at Que Yong and said: "My Dahan intends to seek refuge in Jiajing, Xia Yan's plan failed, and Zhang Zhixiang directly Kill Fan Lingyu."

"We cannot remain indifferent, we must have countermeasures."

But Yong got up, walked to the door, looked at the west wall and said: "How to countermeasure? Either rebel, or someone can stop Zhang Zhixiang, otherwise the person he wants to kill will surely die."

Zhan Rong said: "I Dahan beheaded the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as a war. How about sending troops to attack Fengzhou Beach?"

But Yong asked: "And then?"

Zhan Rong was puzzled: "What then?"

But Yong said gloomyly: "Do you think Fengzhoutan is the capital of Tatar? It is indeed an oasis, and it is the most important area of ​​Al Dahan today, but they are nomads!!"

"Can't beat it, I Dahan can't run?"

"Datong has only 17 soldiers and horses, and the Xuan Mansion has [-]. The army is in full swing. Who will be in charge of the logistics?"

"Will I Dahan be caught on the grassland?"

Zhan Rong understood that he had made a cognitive mistake. Mongolia was not their Huaxia, and they did not have a capital. They had a way to make money from smuggling, but it was not enough to support the expedition.

Only Zhu Di could afford a Northern Expedition of this scale, and he could play it six times in a row...

What's more, this is not a matter of playing or not.

But without a name.

They are not Nanjing, and they do not have the right to speak against the emperor in the court. Although they have formed an alliance with Nanjing this time, it is impossible for Xia Yan to support them in fighting Mongolia, even if I Dahan cut off Zhao Kan's head.

"Since we don't want to fight, then close the border trade and put some pressure on me Dahan."

"As for Zhao Kan's mission..."

"Zhang Zhixiang didn't do anything to us. The imperial court should still be busy fighting with Nanjing, but sooner or later they will do something to us. We can't sit still and wait for death."

"Besides, Fan Lingyu is dead, and the Fan family will not give up."

Although Zhan Rong is not good at fighting, he is still able to analyze the situation in the court. Civil officials are like this. When they can avoid direct combat, they will want to use other methods in a detour.

Zhang Zhixiang didn't make it clear that he wanted to move Xuanda, so they didn't have the determination to rebel...

But Yong moved his lips, but didn't say it.

He wanted to rebel, because now is the best time, the court is fighting in Annan, and the Xu family and the Wang family have to take into account the naval battle in Nanyang. If they wait for Qiu Luan's squadron to return to the court, they will have no chance at all.

just.

Even if the rebellion succeeded, Lao Tzu's head was cut off by Zhang Zhixiang, so what does wealth have to do with Lao Tzu?

"Zhang Zhixiang is so domineering, is there no one in the world who can deal with him? The Fan family wants revenge, so they must find a way to deal with Zhang Zhixiang." But Yong decided to let the Fan family go first, so he would not be the first bird...
