Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 200 Abney's Choice
But if you think about it carefully, you will know that this is too impractical. The Mongols are not fools. On the contrary, they are very smart living on the grasslands with harsh natural conditions. Grazing can put itself to death.

The natural conditions on the grassland are very poor. Although the quality of pasture is good, the growth rate is not fast. A piece of pasture often cannot meet the needs of the herdsmen. It is necessary to change a place for grazing every once in a while, and drive the cattle and sheep to other pastures every one or two seasons.

Otherwise, if the cattle and sheep always gnaw on the pasture in one place, they will easily eat off the roots of the pasture. In this case, it will take a long time for the pasture in this grassland to recover.

Before recovering, the herdsmen have no pasture for the cattle and sheep to eat, and the cattle and sheep will starve to death. If the cattle and sheep starve to death, the herdsmen will not survive.

The nomads living in this environment obviously have strong vitality, just like the grassland under their feet, the wild fire is endless, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates.

"I can guarantee on my own reputation that Daming will never do such a thing. If the prince is not at ease, I can also ask His Majesty to give you this guarantee." Zhang Ruowang couldn't think of how to reassure Abu Nai, but thought In order to convince Abney of them with guarantees and promises.

It's a pity that Abnai has just used this trick, how could he trust Zhang Ruowang and Zhu Cihong?

Sure enough, after hearing Zhang Ruowang's words, Abnai laughed and said to Zhang Ruowang, "Haha, if I promise to use it, then I will never be able to negotiate any conditions with Daming."

A few days ago, he pledged his allegiance to the Qing Dynasty in front of Bumbutai, to Bumbutai and the little emperor Fulin, but Abnai didn't take it seriously.

But now Zhang Ruowang also said that he wanted to guarantee it, which reminded Abnai of that ignorant and stupid woman of Bumbutai. He never imagined that a Confucian scholar who stood up to heaven and earth would be like a woman.

"I do not know what you mean."

"I mean, promises are useless. On the grassland, if you don't have the strength, then no matter what kind of promise you make, it's just a piece of paper. I believe you Han people should know better than me about this."

The grassland nomads with a low level of civilization know it, but the Han nationality, which is second to none in the world, naturally understands these truths better.

"But if we want to cooperate, both parties must trust each other." Zhang Ruowang didn't know why Abnai did this, but he still said relentlessly.

"You're right, that's the truth, but both sides of the cooperation must have a certain strength. If your strength is too weak, then the cooperation will be impossible to achieve."

"If the Great Emperor wants me to submit to him, fight for him, and fight against the Qing Dynasty with him, it is not enough to show his sincerity, he also needs to show his strength, otherwise I, Abnay, will not be able to take Chahar The lives of all the people on the steppe are at risk."

Abunai has ambitions and a grand desire to restore the Mongol Empire. Unfortunately, his family background is too weak to support such lofty ideals. The first thing Abunai has to do is to let his people survive in this chaotic world where human life is as cheap as grass. It is the power to develop the Chahar Grassland that comes down, and the last thing is to take the chestnut out of the fire to benefit from the Miqing and Ming Dynasty and become the Great Khan of Mongolia.

"So the lord means that he will not cooperate with Daming for the time being." Zhang Ruowang said quietly, he did not expect such an ending in the end.

Before he came, he felt that he would either not be able to see Abu Nai, or he would be kicked out if he did.

But when he saw Abunai and entered Abunai's barracks again, he felt that he would succeed this time, otherwise Abunai would not have invited him in, and Zhu Cihong would not have given him so many instructions. Such favorable conditions.

"Your Excellency is a smart scholar, and what you understand is what I mean." Abner said to Zhang Ruowang.

"However." Just when Zhang Ruowang was very disappointed and was about to return to Huaiqing to seek Zhu Cihong's return, Abnai suddenly changed the subject.

"The great emperor let me see his sincerity, and I, Abnai, must repay it. Please tell the great emperor that I, Abnai, will not meet with Daming for the time being. If Daming proves that the destiny is in the hands of the great emperor, Then Abu Nai will go to the Emperor's side to lead the horse and hold the whip for him."

Now that he has helped Dorgon defeat Zhou Yuantong in Hejian Mansion, Abnai feels that he can take a break for the time being, just as there is a conflict between Dorgon and Bumbutai.

In addition, there is a conflict of power within Miqing, so I can look for an opportunity to ask Bumbutai to issue an edict, so that I can stand on the sidelines.

Zhang Ruowang didn't expect that he would gain something this time. Abney promised not to attack the Ming army. It seems that he still has something to gain from this trip, but he doesn't know if Zhu Cihong will be satisfied.

"Okay, if that's the case, my lord, then I will definitely tell His Majesty the truth." Zhang Ruowang felt that it was very good for Abnai to do so.

After Zhang Ruowang left, Borgo pulled Abnai and said, "Abunai, why did you do this?"

"What are you doing?" Abu Nai pretended to be confused. Although he was young, he was quite ghostly.

"Why choose not to help anyone?" Borgo didn't understand. He felt that with the strength of Chahar Mongolia, if they didn't help anyone, they would offend everyone. After all, sometimes weakness is the original sin.

From small countries that were arbitrarily annexed in the pre-Qin period to small countries that were bullied by great powers in modern times, some superpowers even took out washing powder and slandered it as a biochemical weapon of a small country.

In fact, no one has done anything wrong, but those small countries are too weak.

"My Uncle Borgo, the Chahar Grassland has only a million people, and only the 3 soldiers we brought out can be counted as soldiers. Our strength is too weak, and the Chahar people can't afford to lose, otherwise we will lose If you say that I have become the Great Khan of Mongolia, I am afraid that there will be no such grassland in the future."

Abney has his own difficulties. At a young age, he is burdened with the future of millions of people in a grassland, and he is under great pressure.

But no matter how big it was, it was not as big as Zhu Cihong. Zhu Cihong's Daming had millions of troops and a population of more than [-] million.

"I believe that my choice will not be made, and the spirits of Changshengtian and Genghis Khan will definitely bless me in the sky." Abnai folded his hands on his chest and closed his eyes silently.

"I hope so." Borgo sighed, weak people are sometimes like this, the world seems to give you a lot of choices, but in fact you have no choice at all.
