Commander of the Mongolian Navy?

Chen Mu thought that I replied to what others wanted to say to him, but he didn't expect to say this, and just as he was about to respond, he saw me shaking his head and smiling.

"This king is just happy to see the hunt, even if you want to come north, Tumut will not dare to use you." I replied with a twist on his face, pieced together a helpless expression, and said: "Just Zhao Quan and others, the Son of Heaven is going to exchange Han for their head, let alone live Chen Mu." ”

I took off the Tibetan Buddhist prayer beads around my neck and held them one by one in my hand, and motioned to Chen Mu: "This king has been following the Buddha for a long time, since more than ten years ago, I never thought of attacking the Beijing division again, this king's cavalry entered the fortress, rarely hurt the innocent, can grab some, if you can't grab it, you don't have to attack the city and hurt people, don't laugh." ”

Chen Mu didn't hold back, he couldn't hold back.

Tumut Khan, who had been fighting with the Ming Dynasty in northern Xinjiang for decades, said to him very seriously that he was a devout Buddhist, saying that his order to the Mongol cavalry was to grab some if they could enter the fortress, and not to kill if they couldn't grab it.

When mentioning the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he did not say anything else, calling Beijing the capital and the emperor the son of heaven.

This weird contrast, can Chen Mu not laugh?

"It's all funny, General Chen, this king asked the Son of Heaven to open the border market five times when the Son of Heaven was alive, but the Son of Heaven did not listen, and the King was angry and raised troops to have the Gengxu Rebellion. Is it because this king can't beat the city of Beijing? This king just wants the court to open the border market, the court opens the border market, and the king immediately withdraws the army, is it disrespectful to the Son of Heaven? ”

"My people can't survive, they need a border city! This battle has been fought for decades, and the generals of the Son of Heaven are getting more and more powerful, starting from Ma Fang, Zhao Ke and those people have to take the lead, and they have to strike preemptively, and frequently attack our tribe, has this king occupied any city in Senei? No. ”

"Sending troops into the Cypriot to plunder is a last resort, the various departments outside the Seychelles attack each other, this king must not show weakness to them, show weakness or die, but the Son of Heaven is different, even if he shows weakness to the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven will not kill me."

"This king only asks you one thing, my grandson Han, he really wasn't killed by you generals?"

Chen Mu had gradually understood my thoughts, he didn't answer directly, raised his hand and said: "Da Khan takes a pen and paper, Chen writes a letter for you, you send your cronies to Datong, and I will ask the governor to take a Han and let your people take a look." ”

"Hearing is false, seeing is believing, and when your people see that Han is still alive, they will know our sincerity."

"Good!"

I replied to the account and ordered someone to get silk cloth and pen and ink, Chen Mu wrote the letter, and I replied to send someone to Datong, and then said to Chen Mu: "If Han is still alive, can you tell me why the imperial 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." Of course, Chen Mu wouldn't tell me anything more, he smiled and said: "The king doesn't know that in the Senei Imperial Court, the border generals and border people are rewarded, and if they can obtain Zhao Quan's head and return it to the Senei, they can be promoted to the commander of the capital in vain." ”

I squatted next to Chen Mu, looked into his eyes and said, "I don't make trouble, those who make trouble are all instigated by Zhao Quan." Now my grandson is obedient to the court, this is providence. If the Son of Heaven can crown me king and rule the north forever, which tribe would dare to cause rebellion? ”

"Even if I die unfortunately, the title will be inherited by my grandson, and how dare he live up to the great favor of the imperial court?" I replied, looking at the beams on the top of the felt tent, raised my hand and pressed it on the felt mat and said, "What should the king's words sound to the Son of Heaven?" ”

"The Son of Heaven should be willing to crown you king."

In Chen Mu's opinion, this is a good start.

Altan Khan was a khan, but his khan was the Sodo Khan of the Mongol Great Khan, which means the little khan who guarded the Khan's court. The actual status is equivalent to that of the princes of Zhou Tianzi, but limited to his identity, and now it is more interesting to hope that the Ming Dynasty Tianzi will crown him king.

He is the seventeenth grandson of Yuan Taizu, and his grandfather is the Great Yuan Khan, but he does not seem to have the ambition to revive the Great Yuan, although he has conquered the east and west, and the Mongolian households in the east, west and north have been cleaned up by him, and it is his hand to drive the grassland overlord Chahar to Liaodong.

But at this time, he undoubtedly needed the Ming Dynasty's feudal king more to expand his rule over the grassland.

I replied slowly, his relieved appearance at this time, and even made Chen Mu guess that Hannaji may not be so important in my heart, but the current situation has pushed Tumut and the Ming Dynasty to this opportunity to negotiate peace.

to make things go so smoothly.

"I am willing to pay tribute to the Son of Heaven, and at the same time I hope that the Son of Heaven can open the border market, General Chen, this is very important, you must inform the Son of Heaven about this." I replied lightly and emphatically, "In addition, Xin Ai and other tribal leaders should also be given the title of emperor by the emperor. ”

"After the peace is negotiated, where the borders are are also something for you to consider."

I replied very rationally, he spread out everything, and said to Chen Mu: "This king knows that you must want to move the border to the north again, but this is impossible, with the Great Wall as the boundary, this is what this king means." However, there is still a long time to be agreed on these matters, and we can talk about them in detail later, as long as Han is still alive, everything can be discussed. ”

Chen Mu didn't care where the borders were, he thought that the borders of this era were empty, and he smiled: "The king and Chen said this, and Chen could only pass on the words, but in fact, Chen wanted to ...... I want to talk to the king about the opening of the market, and now the business has been agreed, if the court agrees to open the market with the king, where will the market be opened? ”

I replied and looked at Chen Mu for a long time, and then muttered, "You are the same as Wang Chonggu?" ”

"It's different, Chen is a southerner, farther than Shanxi and Henan, and the southernmost side is by the sea."

Chen Mu knew the meaning of my answer, Wang Chonggu, the governor of Xuanda, was born in a Jin merchant family, Wang Chonggu's father Wang Yao, uncle Wang Xian, and eldest brother Wang Chongyi were big businessmen; His nephew is currently Zhang Siwei, his father Zhang Yunling, uncle Zhang Yaoling, and younger brother Zhang Sijiao are also big businessmen.

The relatives of Wang Zhang's family, Shen Zhang and Fan Shikui, are also big businessmen.

What I mean by this is that you, Chen Mu, are you from a big merchant family like them?

"It's not the same, there is a chat, this king has done business with them in the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, and he has suffered a lot." In the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, even if the Gengxu Rebellion, Emperor Jiajing was forced to open the border market for a year, obviously the experience of that year is still fresh in my memory, he said: "Even if you suffer, this king is willing to exchange markets with the Son of Heaven, but because of your words and untrustworthy closing the market, there are subsequent years of war." ”

Chen Mu laughed when he heard this, did he lose money doing business with Wang Chonggu? Well, he's gearing up - in fact, no one who has done business with General Chen has not suffered so far.

It's just that sometimes they suffer and don't know it.

Great Khan, suffering is a blessing.

Chen Muyi replied to me rhetorically: "King, it will take a few days for Tanma to report to the south, can I go to Bansheng to have a look?" ”
