Helian Ba, who had not spoken for a long time, nodded, and said: "Yes, our Mongolian steppe, there are many tribes, for thousands of years, in order to compete for water and grassland, each tribe has its own soldiers, horses, food and grass, when the Great Khan is strong, these tribes will be attached to the Great Khan, but they may not listen to his orders, once the strength of the Great Khan is weakened, there will be a new strong man to stand up and replace him, just like the old wolf king always has to be replaced by a new, more powerful male wolf." ”

"The last time the Great Khan invaded Guannei, on the surface, it seemed that we Mongolians were greedy and cruel, but in fact, the root is still in your Daming, my grassland is not abundant, except for horses, cattle and sheep, fur and animal meat, there is nothing, for many years has been opening border trade with you Central Plains people, bartering, in exchange for the silk silk, pots and pans and other daily necessities that we urgently need, these are just a gesture for you Central Plains people, things that can be seen everywhere, but in the grassland, it is the foundation of our survival."

Cause Shenni said coldly: "You can get it well by doing business, why do you want to attack and kill, isn't it because you grassland demons are greedy and only know violence?" ”

Helian Ba shook his head: "What Shitai said is bad, if it can be obtained through normal trade, we Mongolians are not willing to sacrifice our lives to fight and rob, in the grassland, we have shed enough blood in order to compete for water sources and pastures, and we don't want to fight with you Han people anymore, but since your emperor ascended the throne, he has adopted a comprehensive blockade of our Mongolia, and even the customs and markets that were previously open on the border have all been unilaterally closed." Even so, our Great Khan is also valued for peace. I want to communicate with your emperor and ask him to reopen the city. Our Great Khan is even willing to pay tribute to your Emperor Ming, these things, you can ask Commander-in-Chief Lu, whether what I said Helian Ba is a lie. ”

Qu Caifeng whispered to Li Cangxing: "Cangxing, is what Helian Ba said true or false?" Are the Mongols really going to rob without food or clothing? ”

Li Cangxing's expression was grim, he nodded, and replied secretly: "This time he didn't lie, it was indeed Emperor Jiajing who closed the border trade first, which made it difficult for the Mongols to continue. That's when the troops were introduced. ”

The corners of Qu Caifeng's mouth hooked: "In this way, Altan Khan raised troops last time, but it was fateful?" But why did the emperor do such a thing? ”

Li Cangxing sneered: "This emperor, his face is the best in the world, and he still thinks that the foreign countries in the Quartet are also his loyal courtiers, and he can come as much as he wants. It's just to show that he holds the power of life and death in these foreign countries, the economic lifeline. ”

Speaking of this, Li Cangxing paused and sighed: "I'm afraid it's also because my father married a Mongolian princess." After giving birth to me, the emperor also knew something about this, so he regarded Mongolia as his great enemy. I am afraid that one day the Mongols will come to the Central Plains under my banner to seize his throne. It is simply to pour out the children in the basin when pouring water, and completely isolate it from Mongolia. to cut off the possibility of them entering the Central Plains. ”

Qu Caifeng smiled slightly, and said secretly: "But didn't the Mongols still come in?" If you are really in Mongolia. Last time, it was their best banner and excuse. ”

Li Cangxing shook his head: "If I am really in Mongolia, I would rather commit suicide than become an excuse for them to march into the Central Plains, no matter what, after all, I grew up in the Central Plains, this is my motherland, this is my home, I will not help other races to slaughter their compatriots." ”

While the two were talking, Lu Binglang said: "Yes, as the Lord of Helian Gate said, the emperor stopped the trade with Mongolia at the beginning of his accession to the throne for various considerations, which caused the dissatisfaction of the Mongolian ministries, and I have also served as an envoy to and from Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty many times, mediating from it, conveying the emperor's will, and the friendship with the Lord of Helian Gate, it is from that time that I can testify to Lord Helian Gate." ”

Shi Yin gritted his teeth: "Even if our Ming emperor closes the city first, can you Mongols lead your troops into the Central Plains, burn, kill and loot?" The life of you Mongolians is fate, but isn't it the life of our people in the Central Plains? How unreasonable! ”

Helian Ba's face put on a helpless expression, and he spread his hands: "Shi Tai doesn't know, as I said just now, on our Mongolian steppe, the Great Khan is not a person who has the final say, each tribe has its own military horses, in fact, the Great Khan wants to have a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty, don't see each other with swords, but many tribes have no goods in the city, survival is difficult, when people can't survive, they can eat people, not to mention that they have knives and horses in their hands, and they want to rob them, if it weren't for my Khan's repeated bullet pressure and restraint of all departments, I'm afraid that as early as more than ten years ago, the Mongolian ministries would have entered the Guannai. ”

Because of the teacher's white eyebrows: "I have thousands of miles in the Ming Dynasty and a million troops, how can I be afraid of you Mongolian Tartars, if you are set up to fight, our warriors from all over the country will also help the king, how can you Mongolians be rampant!" ”

Because of Mrs. Shi's words, combined with her majestic and awe-inspiring momentum, Li Cangxing secretly shouted hello in his heart.

Helian Ba smiled slightly, and said: "Although there are many soldiers and horses in the Ming Dynasty, there will be the idea of stealing life, and the soldiers will not die, the system has already collapsed, and the country has not practiced war for many years, which is comparable to the Mongolian warriors who lick blood every day, my Great Khan does not know that he has fought the Ming Dynasty, but he just doesn't want to completely damage the relationship between the two families, so he has been suppressing the various departments for many years to prevent them from attacking the Ming Dynasty." Until the last Gengxu year, our grassland was hit by a disaster, the people and animals of all departments were greatly reduced, and they really couldn't survive, and then they didn't show their attitude to the Ming Dynasty, but I was afraid that we only gnawed the mud, so the various ministries were angry, and the Great Khan had no choice but to take them together to ask for the opening of the market! ”

The teacher said angrily: "Nonsense, you Mongolian iron cavalry into the pass, all the way to do all the evil, is this for the sake of tribute trade?" Are there bullies who do this business? ”

Helian Ba sighed: "Those are all small tribes from Mobei, I haven't seen the Huahua World of the Central Plains, and the disaster is also the most serious, so after entering the pass, the thief's habit is not changed, in fact, our own war on the grassland is also like this, the women and children of the defeated tribe, as well as cattle, sheep and livestock, are basically snatched by the defeated tribe, which is so cruel." Although the Great Khan was suppressed several times, the effect was not good, so we could only restrain our own headquarters and not corrupt military discipline. (To be continued.) )
