The day after Zhang Zhixiang left Datong, the general's mansion looked at the Tatar envoy in front of him and Zhao Kan's head in the box, and was in a very heavy mood.

He was trampled under his feet by Zhang Zhixiang and was humiliated. At least Zhang Zhixiang did not intend to kill him, which means the situation was not bad.

But Ida Khan killed 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 that time, the little Mongolian prince had ambitions to restore the glory of the Mongolian Empire, but Ida Khan was very self-aware and always wanted to pay tribute.

Idahan is very smart. He understands that trade is the best for Mongolia, but the border troops will not agree.

Mongolia has no threat, how can they raise the enemy and respect themselves?

Trade has been opened, how can they join hands with Shanxi merchants to smuggle and make money?

For Mongolia, only large-scale trade with the Ming Dynasty can be exchanged for enough daily necessities, allowing Mongolia to develop and free herders from the bitter cold and famine outside the Great Wall.

As a wise monarch, Ida Khan understands these things.

So he developed agriculture in Fengzhoutan, allowing some herders to learn how to farm, build cities in Fengzhoutan, actively trade with Shanxi merchants, and then continuously conquered major Mongolian tribes, and even sent troops to Qinghai and the Western Regions to expand their sphere of influence.

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

The third generation finally cultivated "nobles". Idahan understood how to turn Mongolia into a real country and allow herders outside the Great Wall to enter civilization.

Since the Hongwu period.

During the reign of Anda Khan, Mongolia reached another peak, so that Fengzhou Beach was only more than 400 miles away from Datong, but Anda Khan dared to offend the Ming border army...

No.

If Altan Khan is alone, he dare not offend him, because of that token - the Ming Dynasty National Master.

Ye Yong said to the messenger with a gloomy face: "Do you think that without my agreement, the Tatars could trade directly with the Ming Dynasty?"

The messenger smiled and said, "When I came, I saw the poem left by the national sect on the walls of Datong City. Maybe the General soldier thought it was already very powerful, but the General soldier didn't know that the National sect had even used a sword on the north bank of the Yellow River."

"That sword traverses thousands of meters, and the ravines are several feet deep."

"It should be able to split Datong City."

"Go thousands of miles away with your sword, and don't go back again after one or two."

"We Khan didn't want our heads to be removed at night, so we followed the instructions of the national magistrate. If the general has any objections, we might as well protest to the national magistrate. However, I heard that when the national magistrate wrote poems in Datong, he wrote on the head of the general..."

Bang!

But Yong slapped the table, but the messenger was fearless, but Yong said with a ferocious expression: "Send the guest!"

The envoy left and walked through Datong smoothly with the envoy. They would offer three thousand war horses and many excellent fur to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

The scale of this tribute is not very large.

During the reign of Emperor Yingzong, Yesen from the Oirat would pay tribute two or three times a year, each time sending thousands of horses and various products from the grassland. After locating the value, the court gave back the grain, tea, cloth and iron tools they needed.

Trade is the way out for Mongolia.

The grassland is bitter and cold. Since ancient times, Han people have eaten more meat than herders. The Five Barbarians of Han are not only fighting power, but also physical fitness.

Because in the place where the water and grass are most abundant, raising a sheep requires twenty acres of land, and a family of five people requires at least 90 sheep to maintain their lives. The prerequisite for maintaining their lives is... not to slaughter and eat cheese.

It takes about two thousand acres of land to feed a herder on the grassland.

With such production efficiency, how can the living standards of herdsmen improve? How can they eat meat every day?

Cold and hungry are the portrayal of life outside the border.

Even the nobles on the grasslands, the envoy understood what the lives of herders were like. Only by opening up trade with the Ming Dynasty could the lives of herders be improved...

As for smuggled goods, a pound of salt in the Ming Dynasty is so expensive that it is so expensive. Can tea be cheaper?

Only by catching and trading can you shop at the original price!

The envoy firmly led the envoy to the capital. In the General Office, Datong Governor Zhan Rong came over after the envoy walked over and looked at Kuyong and said, "I Dahan intends to surrender to Jiajing. Xia Yan's plan failed, and Zhang Zhixiang killed Fan Lingyu directly."

"We cannot be indifferent, we must have some countermeasures."

But he stood up, walked to the door, looked at the city wall to the west and said, "How to deal with it? Either rebel or someone can stop Zhang Zhixiang, otherwise the person he wants to kill will undoubtedly die."

Zhan Rong said: "Wan Dahan's killing of the Ming envoy can be regarded as a war. How about sending troops to attack Fengzhoutan?"

But I asked, "What?"

Zhan Rong wondered: "What then?"

But he said gloomyly: "Do you think Fengzhou Beach is the capital of the Tatar? It is indeed an oasis, the most important area of ​​Anda Khan today, but they are nomadic!!"

"I can't beat him, will I not run away?"

"Datong only has 50,000 troops, plus Xuanfu has 170,000. The army is moving in full swing. Who will be responsible for the logistics?"

"Can I catch Idahan on the grassland?"

Zhan Rong understood that he had made a cognitive mistake. Mongolia was not their China and had no capital. They had a way to make money because of smuggling, but it was not enough to support the expedition.

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

What's more, this is not something that can be played or not.

But it has no name.

They are not Nanjing and have no right to compete with the emperor in the court. Although they have formed an alliance with Nanjing this time, Xia Yan cannot support them in fighting Mongolia, even if I Dahan cuts off Zhao Kan's head.

"Since I don't fight, then close the border trade. I always have to put some pressure on me."

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

"Zhang Zhixiang did not attack us. The court should still be busy fighting with Nanjing, but sooner or later it will attack us. We cannot sit still and wait for death."

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

Although Zhan Rong was not good at fighting, he could still analyze the situation in the court. This is how civil servants could avoid direct wars, and they would want to use other methods in detours.

Zhang Zhixiang did not clearly state that they would promote the Propaganda, so they did not have the determination to rebel...

But he moved his lips forever, but he didn't say it out.

He wanted to rebel because the time was the best. The court fought in Annan and had to take into account the naval battle between the Xu family and the Wang family in Nanyang. If Qiu Luan returned to the court, they would have no chance.

only.

Even if the rebellion is successful, my head is cut off by Zhang Zhixiang. What is the relationship between glory and wealth and honor?

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