Today's [-]th Edition
His Majesty the Ming Emperor of Zhangjiakoubao summoned Lin Danhan, the Khan of the Chahar Department of King Shunping
News from our newspaper (compiled by Wang Tong) On the third day of February, His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty left Beijing on the first day of February in order to consolidate the relationship between Daming and the Chahar Tribe of Tatar, and ordered the Khan Lin Danhan of the Chahar Tribe to go there. Zhangjiakou Fort met and received the title of King Shunping, Li Mingrui, Minister of the Ministry of Scholars and Officials of Wenhuadian University, and the right servant of the Ministry of Rites,...

This is a newspaper from Daming Daily. As mentioned above, Zhu Youxiao has now become an emperor unwilling to be lonely. He left for Zhangjiakou Castle after not staying in the capital for two months. Unfortunately, the civil servants and generals can no longer control him , if you dare to impeach, you will be sent directly to a remote mountainous area as a teaching assistant.

Now, His Majesty Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, has become much more gentle. He no longer likes to ransack his home and behead him, but if he disagrees with you, he wants you to go to the west to support the great development.

Anyway, according to reports from the governors of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places, many Yi people have begun to learn Chinese characters and carry out Sinicization.

Zhangjiakou Fort was originally an important military stronghold of the Wanquan Youwei of the Ming Dynasty, but after Zhengde, Zhangjiakou Fort gradually became an important trade exchange market inside and outside the pass, and now because the Chahar Department is inclined to Ming Dynasty, in order to show goodwill, Zhu Youxiao even It is directly allowed to open the Dajing Gate, allowing the Chahar Department to import and trade with the local people.

Today, Zhu Youxiao decided to summon the Chahar Khan Lin Danhan in Zhangjiakou Fort to elevate the political status of Zhangjiakou Fort, and Zhu Youxiao has also asked Huo Weihua, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, to start building a Mongolian king here. The tent is the main style of the palace.

Zhu Youxiao intends to use this place as a base to meet with the Mongolian princes in the future, that is, to control the Mongolian tribes. In the future, the Ming Dynasty will definitely not isolate Mongolia into another country with just a Great Wall.

"Lin Danhan, from today onwards, you are my King Shunping of the Ming Dynasty. I recognize your special status in the Chahar tribe and promise to give you the land of the Horqin tribe. Daming only needs Horqin's population and wealth, but you have to remember For generations to come, you must regard Da Ming as the master, you are not allowed to provoke side affairs, and if you encounter disputes, you can send commissioners from both sides to handle them, but if you dare to violate Da Ming, I will not forgive you lightly!"

Zhu Youxiao said to Lin Danhan very seriously. Lin Danhan looked a little displeased, but he had to admit that there was nothing excessive about it. After all, if the two parties want to unite, they must have a promise.

Therefore, Lin Dan Khan nodded with a wry smile. His lifelong long-cherished wish is to unify the tribes of Mongolia and become the real king of the grasslands, so he is willing to temporarily unite with Ming Dynasty.

"In addition, what are the specific trade tax concessions for the two parties? How large are the workshops and houses that the Royal Bank and the Royal Industrial Company can build in your Chahar department? How does the Ming Dynasty subsidize you to build the armory? How many firearms do you need to borrow to buy? , How to repay, these will be discussed by Li Mingrui from the cabinet and Guo Yunhou from the household department with your grand master, let's watch the show, I have admired the dance of your Chahar department for a long time."

Zhu Youxiao also did as the Romans did when he went to the countryside, and he took the kumiss and Lin Danhan respected each other, and Lin Danhan saw that His Majesty the Ming Emperor was so approachable, and he could talk about his own culture naturally, and he seemed to know a lot, so he was in a mood for a while It's also a lot better, and I started talking with Zhu Youxiao.

As for how Li Mingrui signed the military and economic agreements with the Grand Master of the Chahar Department, Zhu Youxiao didn't have to worry about it. With Li Mingrui's cunning, it is estimated that these people from the Chahar Department can only be fooled. Just like the group of stupid Eight Banners disciples in the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations, what they saved by tightening their belts was sold by others, and they even helped them count the money.

But here, Lin Danhan became a little embarrassed after drinking some wine, and he said bluntly: "Your Majesty, don't look at your Ming Dynasty occupying my Dayuan's country. Now you have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and countless wealth, but you are still the same. They are no match for my prairie cavalry. Although they have spent a lot of money to build a lot of important towns and pass, and barely defended them, they are no match for those who work with real knives and guns. It's a pity that my prairie troops are in a state of disunity. You fight for it. , killing each other, so you Daming have the opportunity to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said nothing, thinking that although Lin Danhan had a clear understanding of the current situation, he was not a careful person who dared to say anything.

And Zhu Youxiao was not angry, so he replied: "It is true, what King Shunping said is very true, King Shunping, don't forget, it is not only my Daming who sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight, but also Jiannu. I want to guard against you, but I have no intention of harming you, but the Qing Dynasty has been coveting your Mongolian tribes for a long time."

Lin Danhan nodded. He has been in Central China since he was a child, so he has a relatively large Sinicization. He can understand Fengyang Mandarin, and he can even say that he has a good understanding of Chinese history, so he said: "Your Majesty, what do you say?" That's right, you are the Great Song Dynasty, rich and powerful but poor and weak, you have no ambition to dominate the world, you only want to be peaceful; and that Jiannu is as greedy as Jin Guo, with a snake-hearted heart, and you have to guard against it, so I, Lin Danhan, want to Unite with you and fight against the slaves together. For you, I am at ease. Your Chahar department can make your hundreds of thousands of troops dare not come north. Now you are going to attack the Khalkha department. In my opinion, it is better Let us help you, as long as you are willing to pay enough money, women are also fine."

"King Lao Shunping bothers you, you will know if you win or not, just look at the result", Zhu Youxiao said, when Xu Xianchun suddenly lifted the curtain and came in, Zhu Youxiao saw the joy on his face, so he said deliberately: "King Shunping is not an outsider, just tell me what happened."

"Yes! Report back to Your Majesty, Oboi has come to report that our West Route Army has defeated the cavalry of the Khalkha Ministry Mutar Division three days ago, annihilating 3000 Khalkha cavalrymen and taking 400 prisoners. The self-rescue battalion of the Khalkha tribe of the Ming Dynasty has been temporarily compiled. In addition, our Jinyiwei has already found out the current location of the royal court of the Khalkha tribe. The West Route Army is rushing to this place. "

Xu Xianchun's words made Lin Danhan, who can understand Chinese, unable to recover for a while, and the cup in his hand fell to the ground at some point.

Zhu Youxiao continued to tear the roast leg of lamb calmly, "It's a big deal, but it's just a small Khalkha tribe. It's worth being so anxious to claim credit. Tell Oboi that his West Route Army must be defeated by the end of this month." Horqin Department, if he is a day late, I will not count him as meritorious!"

"Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, there are more than 1 cavalry in the Khalkha tribe. This time, Daming borrowed the excuse that my Chahar tribe has only [-] troops. How did you annihilate Khalkha so quickly? More than [-] cavalry, this, this is impossible!"

Lin Danhan asked in surprise.

But Zhu Youxiao said indifferently: "Oh, it's a very simple matter. As soon as my master Wang arrives, how can the mere Khalkha tribe be an opponent? There are only more than [-] people. If I personally conquer, the Khalkha tribe will have already disappeared from the map."
