Chapter 71 Loss
Commander of the Mongolian Navy?
Chen Mu thought Altan was trying to stop someone from saying something to him, but he didn't expect that he was talking about this. Just as he was about to respond, he saw Altan shook his head and smiled.
"I am just happy to see the hunt. Even if you want to come north, Tumote will not dare to use you." Altan's face pulled, and he pieced together a helpless expression, saying, "Just Zhao Quan and others, the emperor will exchange Han for their heads, let alone Chen Mu."
Altan took off the rosary of Tibetan Buddhism from his neck and chased him one by one in his hand. He signaled to Chen Mu: "I have been following the Buddha for a long time. Since more than ten years ago, I have never thought of attacking the capital again. My cavalry under my command entered the frontier and rarely hurt innocent people. If you can grab some, you don't have to attack the city or harm others if you can. Don't laugh."
Chen Mu didn't hold it tight, he couldn't hold it tight.
Tumote Khan, who had been in the northern border for decades, said seriously that he was a devout Buddhist and said that his order to the Mongolian cavalry was to rob some of the people who could go to the subway, and if he couldn't rob, he should not kill anyone.
When talking about the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he did not say anything else, and called Beijing the capital and the emperor the emperor.
How could Chen Mu not laugh in this strange contrast?
"This is funny. General Chen, when Emperor Yu Jiajing was alive, I asked the emperor to open the border market again and again. The emperor refused to listen. I was angry and raised the army and caused the Gengxu Rebellion. Is this king unable to defeat the city of Beijing? I just want the court to open the border market. If the court opened the border market, I immediately withdrew my troops. Is it because I was disrespectful to the emperor?"
"My people can't survive and need a border market! This war has been fought for decades, and the emperor's generals are getting stronger and stronger. Starting from Ma Fang, Zhao Ke and others have followed suit and have to take the initiative and frequently go out to the frontier to attack our tribe. Has this king occupied any city in Senei? No."
"It is a forced scourge to send troops into the border to plunder. The tribes outside the border attack each other. I cannot show weakness to them. If you show weakness, you will die. However, the emperor is different. Even if you show weakness to the emperor, the emperor will not kill me."
"I only ask you one thing, my grandson, he is really not killed by you side generals?"
Chen Mu gradually understood Altan’s thoughts. He did not answer directly, and raised his hand and said, “Shank you to get paper and pen. Chen wrote a letter for you. Send your confidant to Datong. I will ask the governor to take the Han and let your people see.”
"Lears are false, and eyes are true. When yours see them, you will know our sincerity when you see them, but you will still be alive."
"very good!"
Altan sent out the tent and ordered people to get silk cloth and ink. Chen Mu wrote the letter, and Altan sent someone to Datong. Then he continued to say to Chen Mu: "If Han is still alive, can you tell me why the court is willing to exchange Han for Zhao Quan?"
"He is a prisoner of the Ming Dynasty, and the prisoner can no longer live and be free and easy." Chen Mu certainly would not tell Altan more. He smiled and said, "The king doesn't know that if the imperial court in Senei offers a reward to the border generals and the people who can get Zhao Quan's head and return it to Senei, he can be promoted to the commander-in-chief."
Altan squatted beside Chen Mu, looking into his eyes and said, "I don't make trouble. Those who cause trouble are Zhao Quan's instructions. Now my grandson surrenders to the court, which is God's will. If the emperor can confer my kingship and always control the north, which tribe dares to cause trouble?"
"Even if I die unfortunately, my grandson will inherit the title. He accepted the great kindness of the court, how dare he let it down?" Altan said, looking at the tent with his eyes and looking at the erect beams on the felt cushion, raised his hand and pressed it on the felt cushion and said, "What does the emperor say sound like to the emperor?"
"The Emperor should be willing to make you king."
Chen Mu thought this was a good start.
Altan Khan is a Khan, but his Khan was the Soda Khan conferred by the Great Khan of the Mongolian Khan, which means a small Khan who protects the Khan court. His actual status is equivalent to the princes enfeoffed by the Zhou emperor, and limited to his identity, it is even more interesting to hope that the Ming emperor will confer him as king.
He was the 17th generation grandson of Taizu of Yuan Dynasty, and his grandfather was the Great Yuan Khan, but he seemed to have no ambition to revive the Great Yuan Dynasty. Although he fought east and west, all Mongolian households in the east and west were cleaned up by him, and it was his way to drive the overlord of the grassland Chahar to Liaodong.
But at this time, he undoubtedly needed the title of the Ming Dynasty to expand his rule on the grassland.
Altan nodded slowly. His relief at this moment even made Chen Mu guess that it might not be so important to put Hannaji in Altan's heart, but the times pushed Tumote and the Ming Dynasty to this opportunity when they wanted to negotiate peace.
Only then can things go so smoothly.
"I am willing to pay tribute to the emperor, and I also hope that the emperor can open the border market on the border. General Chen, this is very important. You must inform the emperor about this." After saying that, Altan emphasized again, "In addition, tribal leaders such as Xin Ai should also be granted the title of the emperor."
"After peace talks, where is the border between the country, it is also something you need to consider."
Altan was very rational. He spread all the matter out and said to Chen Mu: "I know that you must want to move northward again, but this is impossible. With the Great Wall as the boundary, this is what I mean. However, there is still a long time to agree on these things. We can discuss them in detail later. As long as the Han is still alive, everything can be discussed."
Chen Mu didn't care where the country was. He thought that the country was empty in this era. He smiled and said, "The king and Chen said this, and Chen could only pass on the message. But in fact, Chen wanted to... want to talk to the king about opening the market. Now the main affairs have also agreed. If the court agrees to open the market with the king, where will the market be opened?"
Altan looked at Chen Mu for a long time before muttering, "Are you the same as Wang Chonggu and the others?"
"It's different. Chen is from the south, farther away than Shanxi and Henan, and is leaning against the sea at the southernmost point."
Chen Mu knew the meaning of Altan's words. Governor of Xuanda Wang Chonggu was born into a great merchant in Shanxi. Wang Chonggu's father Wang Yao, uncle Wang Xian, and elder brother Wang Chongyi, was a great merchant; his nephew is currently the minister of the Ministry of Personnel Zhang Siwei, his father Zhang Yunling, uncle Zhang Xialing, and younger brother Zhang Sijiao, were also great merchants.
The relatives of Wang and Zhang’s family, Shen Zhang and Fan Shikui, are also big businessmen.
What Altan means is that, like them, you, Chen Mu, are you, also a big Shang family?
"If you are different, there are some talks. I have done business with them in the 29th year of Jiajing, and I have suffered a loss." Even in the 29th year of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing was forced to open the border market for one year. Obviously, the experience of that year still vividly reminded Altan. He said: "Even if you suffer, I am willing to trade with the emperor, but because you have no faith in your words, the market will be closed, so that there will be wars in the following years."
Chen Mu laughed at this. Did he suffer a loss in business with Wang Chonggu and others? Very well, he was ready to fight - in fact, so far, no one who has done business with General Chen has suffered a loss.
But sometimes they suffer but don't know.
Sweat a lot, it is a blessing to suffer losses.
Chen Muyi said to Alertly: "King, it will take several days for the horse to go to the south to report the news. Can I go to Bansheng to take a look?"
Sorry, I didn’t write a book on my birthday yesterday, so I slept in a long time, and I updated one chapter first, and then one chapter later.
Chapter completed!
