Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 199 Secret Talk
"This..." Zhang Ruowang hesitated and couldn't speak. He had expected Abney to say this, and he really couldn't explain this, after all, it was an indisputable fact.

At this time, Borguo suddenly came forward and said good things for Zhang Ruowang, "My lord, the past is over, besides, what Da Ming and Da Khan agreed at the beginning was to exchange silver for Da Khan to attack Mi Qing, Da Ming was not wrong , There is nothing wrong with sweating profusely, it is the mite that is wrong."

Borgo was very smart, and he immediately transferred the conflict to Qing Qing. He was senior and highly respected in Chahar Mongolia, while Abnai was young and could listen to what he said. When he said this, Abnai really I gave up questioning Zhang Ruowang.

"You're right, that's the truth. I was a little too angry just now, so I lost my head." Abnai explained that he didn't target Zhang Ruowang on purpose.

"Thank you, my lord, for understanding." Zhang Ruowang couldn't help but heave a long sigh of relief when he heard Abu Nai's explanation. If Abu Nai insisted that Da Ming was at fault and that Da Ming was sorry for Chahar Mongolia, Zhang Ruowang really didn't know what to do today. good.

If he couldn't get a general idea with Abu Nai, Zhang Ruowang reckoned that he would inevitably be held accountable by Zhang Peilun when he returned to Huaiqing.

"Your Majesty ordered me to meet you this time, and I want to reward you with a thousand taels of gold. I have already brought the gold, and it is in the hands of my followers. Can you let him enter the account and present the gold?" This is Abnai's tent , no one can get in without his order.

Therefore, in order to take the thousand taels of gold that Zhu Cihong bestowed on Abu Nai, it is necessary to seek Ab Nai's consent first.

"Okay, please bring it in." Abnai readily agreed.

After a while, Zhang Ruowang's entourage brought a box of gold in front of Abu Nai. When the box was opened, the entire camp was filled with dazzling golden light.

"My lord, in addition to the thousand taels of gold, as long as you are willing to submit to Daming, His Majesty is willing to let you continue to be the Prince of Chahar, with an annual salary of 10 taels of silver, open the border of the Ming Kingdom to Chahar, and set up a trade market on the border. Let you buy goods from all over the world, tea, salt, steel, porcelain, all of which can be traded with you."

Opening the market is very tempting for Abnai. The grasslands are not as good as the coastal areas, and economic and trade is very difficult.

One is that there are only land routes, which are slow, expensive, and require investment in road construction, which is very troublesome.The second is that the grassland is deep inland and surrounded by powerful neighbors. If they don't want to, let alone these commodities, even a piece of straw will not be traded to Chahar.

If there is no market, Chahar will have no silver flowers to go out, so it is better to have no silver than to have silver, at least it will not be missed by people.

"In addition, if you mobilize the Chahar army, the imperial court will also give you military expenses. Your Majesty said that in the 17th year of Chongzhen, Chahar's military expenses were 50 taels of silver. You can use this money as you like. If you don't want silver, the imperial court The silver can be exchanged for goods in the interior and transported to the Chahar Grassland, and then it will be given to you."

"If an enemy attacks the Chahar Grassland in the future, the imperial court will unconditionally send frontier troops to support it. Even if Daming is drained of his last drop of blood, the enemy will not be allowed to capture the Chahar Grassland."

This point is actually just a nice thing to say. As long as you have a little thinking ability, no one will really think that the Ming court will protect the Chahar Grassland unconditionally and without a bottom line.

However, this promise has already seen the sincerity and friendliness of the Ming Dynasty for Abnai.

"I don't know what the prince wants?" Zhang Ruowang said the conditions that Zhu Cihong had given him, and looked at Abunai quietly, waiting for his reply.

Abnai did not answer in a hurry, but looked at Borgo, and the two exchanged opinions in their eyes.

"The conditions of the Great Emperor are very good. The Chahar people feel the Emperor's love, but I have some questions to ask the envoy." Borgo answered on behalf of Abnai.

"Please." Zhang Ruowang made a gesture of please.

"Now Chahar Grassland and Daming are separated by Zhili, and the distance between Chahar Grassland and Miqing is much closer than Daming. If we choose to cooperate with Daming, what if Miqing becomes angry and attacks Chahar Grassland? Daming Can you protect us?"

Borgo's question hits the nail on the head. Money is good, but what good is it if you can't get it?
If Abu Nai now fell to Daming and fought for Zhu Cihong, if Chiqing sent troops to burn, kill and loot on the Chahar Grassland to destroy their homeland, wouldn't Abu Nai become a bereaved dog?

For Abunai and Borgo, it was really not a good deal to be a bereaved dog for a few 10 taels of silver.

"There are only four mobile forces that Miqing can use now, Jierhalang in northern Shaanxi, Duoduo in Tongguan, Dorgon in Hejian Prefecture, and Haoge in Huaiqing Prefecture." Zhang Ruowang stretched out four The root finger represents the four armies of mites.

"Kejierharang and Duoduo are in a bloody battle with Dashun, and they have no time to worry about them. They won't pose a threat to us for the time being, and Haoge of Huaiqing Mansion has been besieged to death by Daming soldiers, and Huaiqing City has almost been besieged. An iron bucket will fall in a short time."

"As for Dorgon, there are only more than 1 people, and there are tens of thousands of Ming troops in Shandong, plus the 3 horses of Lord Abunai, they will definitely defeat Dorgon with ease."

"At that time, Chiqing will have no soldiers in Zhili and even Liaodong, but we can quickly regain the lost ground. In a few days, the entire North China will be back in the hands of Daming. At that time, Daming and Chaha The distance between you and me will be much closer.”

Zhang Ruowang knew that the general situation of the world today was not good for Mi Qing. At first glance, hundreds of thousands of soldiers of Mi Qing marched into the pass with great arrogance, and they had the potential to sweep the world.

If we follow the historical process and deal with Dashun, Daming, Daxi, and Miqing one by one, it will be extremely simple. After all, these forces have obvious shortcomings, and they are at a great disadvantage when facing the Qing army.

But now that Zhu Cihong led the troops and was arrested, he vowed to fight Mi Qing to the end. Mi Qing was dealing with both the Shun Army and the Ming Army at the same time, and life became difficult in an instant.

"What your envoy said is very reasonable, but I heard people say that the Han people have an idiom called talking about war on paper. It is hard to say whether the Ming army has the combat effectiveness and dares to fight the Qing army."

To Zhang Ruowang's expectation, Borgo did not speak to him this time, but instead doubted the strength of the Ming army.

"What should we do if the Ming army collapses when facing the Qing army, or if they stand aside while we fight the Qing army?"

Borgo's worries are not unreasonable. Zhu Cihong really thought about doing this, let the Mongols and the mite fight to the death, and finally reap the benefits of the fisherman himself. It's not too cool.
