I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 411 The Lion's Big Opening

Tumahan originally thought that he would suffer inhuman torture and even lose his life!

But the development of the matter greatly exceeded his expectations. The Jinyiwei who came to meet him disappeared after imprisoning him in a single room in the imperial prison, and did not send anyone to ask about the Tatars. intelligence.

At the beginning, Tumahan didn't care much about the measures taken by these Ming people. In his opinion, this was just a manifestation of the cowardice of those Ming people. However, as time went by, after only three days, Tumahan will This naive idea I had before was completely forgotten.

Being able to only move around in this small and dark room every day made Tumahan feel restless. Even when he was dreaming, he dreamed of the scene where he used to ride a horse and gallop across the grassland.

However, as beautiful as the dream is, the reality is as cruel. When Tumahan woke up, he found himself still in this small room, which made him quite depressed.

If it is said that the cramped room only makes Tumahan feel irritable, not being able to communicate with others is the most fatal!

In the imperial prison, every day there would be a white-haired old man full-time responsible for delivering meals. He would come once in the morning and once in the evening. At the beginning, Tumaihan was quite upright, and he was unwilling to eat food from Ming people. All the food in front of him was knocked to the ground to show his determination.

But he soon discovered that the old man didn't care about his behavior, he just mechanically put away the food box, then got up tremblingly and left, no matter how loud or insulting he was, it was of no avail.

After starving for a few meals, Tumaihan finally decided to temporarily lower his noble head and eat the meals sent by the Ming people. It does not mean that he surrendered to the Ming people, and everything was just an expedient measure. That's all!

"Even Maodun, the hero who once unified the grasslands, sometimes gave away his BMW and his beloved wife. What's the point of my suffering? Tumahan, you are the sweat of the Tatars, can you Make it through!"

Tumaihan comforted himself in this way, and then, after crossing the threshold in his heart, Tumaihan enjoyed the food sent by the Ming people with more peace of mind.

"Anyway, it's food sent by the enemy, so don't eat it for nothing!"

As time goes by, Tumahan is tired of everything in front of him. What he wants to do most is to find someone to talk to him. In the end, Tumahan sets his sights on every day. On the old man who came to deliver meals for himself a few days ago.

After that, what Tumahan looked forward to the most was when the old man came to deliver meals to him every day. Sometimes, he would even lie on the door of the cell, staring at the corridor until he saw the figure of the old man appearing. After that, he breathed a sigh of relief.

When the old man took out the food from the food box, Tumahan seized the opportunity and tried his best to brag to the old man how lofty his status in the tribe was, and that the power of life and death of the whole tribe was in his hands alone.

Seeing that the old man didn't respond, Tumahan was immediately discouraged. Then, the old man seemed to see what Tumahan was thinking, and immediately pointed to his ears and mouth with his hands respectively, and shook his head.

This is rare for Tumai, and he instantly understood that this old man was not only deaf, but also dumb!
After this, Tumahan's expectations were shattered, and his desire to talk to people almost drove him crazy.

In this way, Tumahan gradually became neurotic, squatting in the corner with disheveled hair and talking to himself.

Even Tumaihan once wanted to end this pain by committing suicide, but before he could put it into practice, he was discovered and stopped by the Jin Yiwei lurking in the dark in advance.

In his confusion, Tumahan even lost the concept of time for a while. For him, no matter day or night, it had no meaning. As a result, his work and rest became extremely disordered, and his physical condition deteriorated from day to day.

Today is the ninth day since Tumahan was imprisoned!

At this moment, Tumaihan curled up in the corner, muttering some incomprehensible words.

Seeing that it was time for the meal delivery, but the old man had been missing for a long time, Tu Maihan judged with his little rationality that the attitude of those wise people towards him would change.

Sure enough, not long after, a few Jinyi guards showed their figures, came to the room where Tu Maihan was imprisoned, opened the cell door, and took him out of the dark and sunny prison!

When Tumahan stood under the sunlight again, because he was in a dark and humid prison without sunlight, he couldn't adapt to the light for a while, so he quickly blocked the sunlight with his hands. It took a long time before he got used to it again.

The moment he saw the sun again, Tumahan's spirit visibly improved, and then he asked the Jinyiwei who was in charge of escorting him in a half-familiar Ming Mandarin.

"Where are you taking me?"

The guard in Jin Yi just glanced at Tu Maihan coldly, and after a long time, he finally uttered two words: "Cabinet!"

……

In the cabinet at this time, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and Yan Shifan had already sat upright, quietly waiting for Tu Maihan's arrival, while Yan Song had his eyes closed, as if sleeping.

In front of the few people, there was a temporary table. On the table was a long-drawn-out agreement. The content on it was the compensation plan of the Tatars to Daming, which was negotiated by several people in recent days. .

Not long after, there was a burst of noisy footsteps coming from outside the cabinet. Seeing this, Yan Shifan immediately pushed Yan Song who was on the side gently with his hand, and reminded him.

"Father, the man has arrived!"

Yan Song slowly opened his eyes and responded subconsciously.

"Uh, good."

Not long after Yan Song came to his senses, Tumahan was escorted to the cabinet by the heavily armed Jin Yiwei.

This situation is rare for Tumai, and the vigilance in his heart is immediately raised to the highest level. To him, those Jinyi guards who are armed to the teeth are not scary. officials.

"Who are you and what do you want to do?"

Tumahan forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and immediately asked several people in his half-familiar Ming Mandarin.

"Well, that's right, this Tatar Khan can also speak my official Chinese, so it seems to save some trouble!"

Seeing this situation, Xu Jie nodded slightly, and said to Yan Song who was beside him.

Not long after Tu Maihan's voice fell, Yan Song showed a little smile on his face and introduced himself to Tu Maihan.

"This old man is Yan Song, the chief assistant of the Ming cabinet. Today, I have come here to discuss with you on the order of His Majesty, the supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Tatar compensation to me!"

After hearing Yan Song's words, Tu Maihan sneered, and immediately refused: "Hmph, compensation, this is absolutely impossible!"

"Wolves are born to hunt and kill sheep. Have you ever heard of wolves paying compensation to sheep?"

When Yan Song heard this, the smile on his face became even bigger, and he said without hesitation.

"Since that's the case, how did you, a wolf, fall into the hands of the lamb?"

Tumaihan heard the irony contained in Yan Song's words, and then unconsciously, the scene on the battlefield at that time emerged in his mind.

"No, it's because you set traps in advance and because there were traitors cooperating with each other, you were able to defeat Ben Khan like this. Otherwise, you have absolutely no chance of winning!"

When Tumaihan said this, the anger in his heart became even worse, and he gritted his teeth immediately.

"If we have the ability, let's have another face-to-face fair confrontation. Neither side is allowed to play tricks!"

After Tumahan's voice fell, the five people on the opposite side seemed to have heard some of the funniest jokes in the world. After looking at each other, they laughed from ear to ear.

In the end, Yan Song barely stopped laughing, and explained unhurriedly.

"In my Ming Dynasty, there was a saying that was to use one's own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses!"

"Since we are facing each other head-on, we are not your opponents, so why can't we use some strategies?"

"Sometimes using traps is also a manifestation of ability. Otherwise, how could you, a big Khan of Tatar, become a prisoner of my Ming Dynasty?"

Hearing this, Tu Maihan was immediately out of breath, and subconsciously wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, it seemed to be the reason.

In order not to let Yan Song continue to expose his scars, Tumaihan simply kept his mouth shut, without saying a word, and put on an appearance of refusing to communicate.

Seeing this, Xu Jie on the side raised his eyebrows, and immediately spoke.

"In this case, you might as well take a look at the content above, and then make a decision!"

After Xu Jie's words fell, Jin Yiwei soon stepped forward and brought the compensation plan that had been drawn up to Tu Maihan.

Tu Mai gave a cold snort, stretched out his shackled hands, and took it from Jin Yiwei's hand.

When he opened the compensation plan, the pupils of his eyes shrank suddenly, and he saw the first article which read: "Tatars need to compensate Daming for [-] cattle and sheep, and [-] horses with pure blood and excellent breeds. In addition to these, the local copper mines, iron mines, etc. must be handed over to Daming to mine."

For the rest of the clauses, Tumaihan was no longer in the mood to read any further, and saw him throw the compensation plan back to its original place, and immediately said in a deep voice.

"You Ming people, what do you think of me as Tumahan? Although I am your prisoner now, I am also a Great Khan of Tatar. As a Great Khan, I should have the responsibility and responsibility of a Great Khan. !"

"If I sign this today, how will I gain a foothold in the tribe in the future, and how will those people in the tribe treat me, a big sweat?"

When Tumaihan said this, perhaps because he was so angry that his breathing became short of breath: "What do you think of me as a Tatar? If we can get so many cattle and sheep, why don't we give up?" As for the need to rob you?"

When Yan Song heard this, there was no expression of indifference on his face, he turned his eyes away from Tu Maihan, and explained in a leisurely manner.

"It's not like asking you to take out [-] cattle and sheep at one time. How about this? You can pay it off in ten years. As interest, you need to compensate me, Daming, [-] cattle and sheep and [-] horses every year." ,how?"

After listening to Yan Song's words, Tu Maihan shook his head like a rattle, and categorically refused.

"Give up, it is absolutely impossible for you to get any benefit from me!"

When Yan Song heard this, a regretful expression appeared on his face at the right time, and he opened his mouth immediately.

"That's it, then we can only go to the new Great Khan of your Chahar Department to discuss this matter."

"Take him down and keep him under strict supervision!"

As soon as Yan Song's words fell, Jin Yiwei, who had been waiting by the side, stepped forward immediately, and was about to detain Tu Maihan.

Tumai was so rare that he panicked and said repeatedly: "Wait, what did you just say, the new Khan!"

Hearing this, Yan Song signaled the guards in Jinyi to release Tu Maihan, then looked at Tu Maihan in surprise, and said.

"You don't think that after you were captured by me, Daming, those five governors you appointed would honestly send a mission to redeem you?"

"As far as I know, they have been fighting for the Khan position for a long time, and they don't care about you at all."

When Tu Maihan heard this, the expression on his face suddenly became extremely ugly. He knew that the situation Yan Song mentioned was very likely to happen.

In the past, except for myself, the Great Khan, who was able to subdue a few of them with his own strength, no one in the entire tribe could restrain them anymore.

What's more, those five rulers are at odds with each other, each with their own ulterior motives, and they all wish that the other party would die sooner!
But now, he has become a prisoner of the Ming people, not to mention the majesty of being a Great Khan, and most of the [-] people who control strings in his hands have been killed or injured.

Tumaihan seems to have been able to predict his own tragic end. When the five rulers go through a final contest and elect a new Great Khan, then where should his former Great Khan be placed?
The only thing Tumahan could think of was that at that time, he would be redeemed from the Ming people by the mission sent by the tribe, and then he would be quietly eliminated on the way.

Then, the new Great Khan would skillfully throw the blame on Mingren's head, and then take the opportunity to start a war, thereby stabilizing his rule.

Don't ask how Tumahan knew, because he used this trick before!
Thinking of this, Tumahan's expression suddenly became gloomy, and he clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.

"Amutai, Weizhengsu, Lalike, you ungrateful things, how does Ben Khan treat you all day!"

Afterwards, Tumahan reacted abruptly and asked Yan Song.

"Where did you get this news?"

Yan Song seemed to have expected that Tumahan would ask this question, and immediately explained.

"Did you forget that the claw map of your tribe is cooperating with us!"
