Chapter 1291: Yarkand Wind and Cloud (Medium)
In the palace at this moment, Rashid Taiji was standing respectfully in front of Sa'id Khan, and said with a little anxiety: "Father Khan, now that the Ming Dynasty is at its peak, the soldiers are strong, even if we join forces with Turpan, we are not the enemy of others, you must not be bewitched by that Muhan'er." ”
Sayid muttered: "But that bastard promised to surrender to Ben Khan, and ceded a hundred miles of land north of the Tarim River to Ben Khan, not a small section, but the entire Tarim River." ”
Rashid sneered, "Really? Father Khan believes that Full Speed will be so generous? It is important to know that the land on both sides of the Tarim River is fertile, an important water source and grain production area, and the most important line of defense between Turpan and the country. Erchen thinks that Man Su'er will never be willing to give up the Tarim River to us, and now it is just a delaying tactic to tempt us to join forces against the Ming Kingdom. ”
Sayid nodded and said: "How can Ben Khan not see the ghost tricks of Man Su'er, but Ben Khan is not a fool, so he will naturally wait until he takes over the land before sending troops." ”
Rashid couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Man Su'er just wants Father Khan to send troops to rescue you, what about the land being handed over to you temporarily?" If the Ming army is repulsed, this person will immediately turn his head and turn his face and deny it, if he can't beat the Ming army, it's useless for us to ask for that land, but it will provoke the Ming army, and if it is not good, it will also invite the disaster of destroying the country. ”
Sayide's face sank, and he asked rhetorically: "What if the Ming Kingdom destroys Turpan and turns its head to destroy us?" ”
Rashid shook his head and said: "The Ming people govern the country with Confucianism, pay attention to benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, since they exchange national letters with their own country and become friends, they will definitely not easily go back on their word, at this point, the Ming people are much more credible than Man Suer, not to mention, the Ming State has not invaded an inch of Turpan land now, but Turpan has occupied the Hami Wei of the Ming State, and the Ming State sent troops this time only to recover the Guanxi Seven Guards that were invaded by Turpan." ”
Sayid said lightly: "Although the words are reasonable, after all, the Ming Kingdom destroyed the Tatars, and forced Warat to cede the land, and the ambition is high, so we have to guard against it." ”
Rashid has studied Han culture since he was a child, and he is an out-and-out pro-Ming faction, not to mention that this also involves the power struggle between him and Zaisang Hasimu, so he naturally wants to try his best to promote the establishment of diplomatic relations between Yarkand and the Ming Dynasty, so he immediately argued: "The reason why the Ming Kingdom destroyed the Tatars was that Altan Khan himself died, and the soldiers besieged the capital of the Ming Kingdom, and he complained that others sent troops to fight back.
Of course, the Ming State did invade the land of Warat, so we can't be undefended, but now this situation is obviously more favorable to the Ming State. ”
Sayide suddenly laughed and said: "My son is growing up more and more, and the problem is analyzed very thoroughly, and I think of a place with my father." ”
Rashid was overjoyed, but immediately asked suspiciously: "Why did the father Khan propose to let the Ming Kingdom marry the princess and relatives?" You know that there is no tradition of harmony in the Ming Kingdom. ”
Sayide smiled lightly: "Seeing is real, hearing is false, this is just a temptation, not to mention that the price is higher, and the counteroffer will be higher." ”
Rashid secretly breathed a sigh of relief and flattered: "Father Khan is wise, the Ming State is now at war with Turpan, and it is obviously not willing to be the enemy of the country at the same time. ”
With a confident expression, Sayid smiled lightly: "If Ben Khan proposes to the Ming Kingdom to buy their new firearms at this time, does Taiji think they will agree?" ”
Rashid couldn't help but suddenly realize that his father Khan was the idea of fighting the firearms of the Ming people, what a good price to spread the sky, and pay back the money on the ground, wonderful!
"Father Khan is clever, the envoy has just rejected the request of the relatives, if he asks to buy firearms at this time, the envoy will definitely not refuse again if he takes care of the face of his father Khan, unless he doesn't want the two countries to make friends." Rashid said: "It can be expected that the Ming State will at least agree to part of the request of my father Khan in the end, and give us some firearms, and when we have firearms, the strength of our army will increase greatly, and there will be no need to be afraid of the Ming army in the future, which will not only reap the benefits, but also increase the ability to protect ourselves." ”
Sayid shook his head and sneered: "Self-preservation? Child, your pattern is still too small, and when you get the new firearms of the Ming Kingdom, not to mention Hezhong and Hexi, even the Mughal is in the bag of Ben Khan. ”
Rashid couldn't help but be secretly frightened, and at the same time, the blood in his chest surged, and he said ashamedly: "Father Khan is eloquent, and his son is not as good as sincerity." ”
Sayide's expression eased and said: "Taiji doesn't need to be presumptuous, you have done a good job, Yecheng handed over to you in the first two years has been managed well, and after a while, Ben Khan plans to hand over Kashgar to you as well." ”
Rashid couldn't help but be overjoyed, because Kashgar is equivalent to the capital of Yarkand, second only to Shache, and the most important thing is that Kashgar has always been the territory of Zaisang Hasmu, and the 20,000 troops stationed there actually belong to Hasmu.
"Don't make a noise about this beforehand, and when the time comes, Ben Khan will announce it in public." Sayid glanced at his excited-looking son and solemnly warned.
Rashid nodded awe-inspiringly: "Erchen understands. ”
"Son, do you know why Ben Khan is so fond of Hasmu?" Sayid suddenly asked meaningfully.
Rashid was slightly stunned, and replied cautiously: "Hasmu has made great contributions to his father Khan, and his father Khan values love and righteousness, so he favors and reuses him." ”
"Childish!" Sayid scoffed and rebuked: "What is the value of affection? As a person in power, the most important thing is to hold on to the power in your hands, and everything else is a joke. ”
Rashid couldn't help but blush, and asked, "Why did Father Khan favor Hasmu?" ”
The so-called ruthlessness since ancient times is the most emperor's family, especially those founding emperors, which is not a tenacious, ruthless, and scheming careerist? Love is indeed a joke to him, Sayid had made his brother Man Su'er rebel in the first place, and his own brother is still like this, how can he talk to a courtier?
I only heard Sayid say lightly: "Without him, because Sanhad is a good dog, a good dog with ability, Ben Khan uses it easily, that's all." ”
Rashid frowned and said: "But Hasmu has taken advantage of his father's reuse to continue to sit big, and in recent years, he has become more and more arrogant, and the pomp is not much better than that of his father's Khan, and even his sons have to give up three points, and the dog is bold, and it is inevitable that he will backfire on his master!" ”
Sayide said indifferently: "The dog chain is held in Ben Khan's hand, and the tightness is all between Ben Khan's thoughts, and there is this vicious dog, which is also a kind of tempering for Taiji, as long as you kill this vicious dog, you have the ability and prestige, and Ben Khan can rest assured that he will pass on the Khan position to you in the future, understand?" ”
Rashid suddenly turned red with excitement, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, all along, although he was respectful to his father Khan on the surface, but there were many complaints in his heart, because he felt that his father Khan was too fond of Hasmu, which led to his own prince being suppressed everywhere, very aggrieved, and now Rashid suddenly realized that his father Khan was so well-intentioned.
"Erchen understands that Erchen will definitely live up to his father's expectations." Rashid slammed his right fist to his chest.
Sayid nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand: "Go ahead, do a good job." ”
Rashid gave a chest salute and hurried out of the palace.
Sa'id Khan thought that Hasmu's dog chain had been held in his hand all the time, and it was all tightened in a thought, but it was just ...... Is that really the case?
It is said that Rashid left the palace in a happy mood and returned to his Taiji Mansion, at this time Huang Dacan had been waiting in the living room for half an hour, and Rashid rushed to the living room immediately after receiving the report from his subordinates.
"Hehe, let the Yellow Envoy wait for a long time!" Rashid laughed heartily as soon as he stepped into the living room.
Huang Dacan stood up and bowed his hand and said, "I didn't wait long, I just sat down for a while." ”
The two sides sat down again, and Rashid asked curiously, "The Yellow Envoy has suddenly visited, but there is something urgent?" ”
"It's nothing important, I sent two stoves to His Royal Highness Taiji, and the other ......" Huang Dacan coughed lightly, and his eyes swept left and right.
Rashid's heart moved, and he sent out all the irrelevant people, and only he and Huang Dacan were left in the living room.
Huang Dacan's expression changed, and he said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness Taiji, Wusi under Prince Babur is very likely to be the one who assassinated the envoy that day, and this matter may be ...... It has to do with Zaisan Hasmu. ”
Rashid's face changed slightly, and he blurted out, "Really? ”
Huang Dacan explained the reason, and said: "According to the king's guards, they were pursued by the Persian prince Sumani at the Buren Pass, and then that Uth suddenly arrived to rescue him with a troop of cavalry, who claimed to have come from Kashgar and were friends of Babur. ”
Rashid was surprised and delighted when he heard this, Kashgar is the territory of Hasmu, it is estimated that eight or nine are not far from ten, this matter must be related to Hasmu, haha, God help me!
At this time, Rashid's ears couldn't help but echo the words that his father Khan told him not long ago, as long as he killed the dog Hasmu, he would have the ability and prestige to ascend to the throne.
Obviously, this is a good opportunity to kill Hasmu's dog!!
"Yellow Envoy, thank you very much for providing this information, this Taiji will definitely find out the matter and give you justice, but this matter involves Zaisang, so don't make a noise, so as not to startle the snake!" Rashid suppressed the excitement in his heart.
Huang Dacan naturally nodded solemnly in agreement!
After sending Huang Dacan out of the door, Rashid immediately sent a fast horse to Kashgar to investigate the identity of Usi, hehe, if it is proved that Hasmu raised dead soldiers in Kashgar privately, or privately mobilized the army, then his end will come.
However, as the so-called praying mantis catches cicadas, the yellow finch is behind, and Rashid has just sent people out of the city to Kashgar, and the secret whistle will send the news back to the inn to Us, who is shocked, and feels that something big is about to happen, so he hurries to Zaisang Mansion to find Babur to report.
