The so-called negotiation, in one case, is based on when both parties are equally powerful and no one is sure of victory. In another case, it is based on when both sides hope to get what they want at a smaller cost.
The current situation of the Ming Dynasty and the Tatar tribes is a mixture of the two. In terms of strength, the troops that the Ming Dynasty can mobilize and the wars it can support are obviously much stronger than the Tatar tribes. However, for the Ming Dynasty , fighting causes all kinds of harm but no benefit.
The grassland tribes have never been afraid of war. They are like weeds, which cannot be burned by fire and will grow again when the wind blows.
For them, war is a common occurrence. Cold winters, lack of clothing, and food will all lead to the rise and fall of tribes. War is just one of the disasters they need to fight against.
The Ming Dynasty may be able to defeat all the tribes on the grassland, but it is unable to control such a huge territory. As long as there is time to recuperate, powerful tribes will always reappear in one generation or two.
Therefore, what Ming Dynasty wants is peace, not war. This is the basis for these envoys to have the confidence to negotiate.
However, as they received more and more information, they also realized that their previous ideas were too simple.
For the entire Ming Dynasty, apart from the so-called "exalting national prestige", there are no real benefits to fighting a war. However, for His Majesty the Emperor in the capital, the benefits of increasing national prestige are enough.
The interests of Ming Dynasty and the interests of His Majesty the Emperor are not always consistent.
This makes them uneasy!
It is true that the grassland tribes are not afraid of war, but this does not mean that the tribes they represent are not afraid of war.
The grassland is vast and there are countless tribes. The Ming Dynasty cannot conquer all the tribes, nor can it rule the entire grassland. However, if their tribe is destroyed, it is destroyed. Other tribes will rise again in their pastures, but... that is already Not them anymore.
Therefore, the so-called negotiation is nothing more than testing the other party's psychological bottom line. They come here to ask for something, but what they ask for is by no means really starting a war.
All eyes were focused on Dabaragan, making him feel unprecedented pressure. His mind was spinning rapidly. He turned his gaze to Yang Jie and said.
"Mr. Yang's words, could it be that he is bullying my grassland people and does not understand the affairs of the Ming Dynasty?"
"As the son of Prince Yang and an official of the Ming Dynasty, you came all the way to the grassland in order to catch a few smuggling businessmen?"
"Does Mr. Yang himself find this statement credible?"
Seeing that Dabaragan became a little impatient when he spoke, Yang Jie chuckled and asked.
"Dabaragan, are you admitting that the Chahar tribe has betrayed their trust, violated the mutual trade treaty, and secretly engaged in smuggling with merchants from the Ming Dynasty?"
The tone of these words sounded familiar, and everyone suddenly came back to their senses as soon as they thought about it.
Isn't this what Dabaragan said just now when he asked Yang Jie if he had ever been to the Chahar Department? Unexpectedly, he was pushed back so quickly by the other party.
Facing Yang Jie's slightly teasing gaze, Dabaragan knew that he had said the wrong thing, and his face became even more ugly.
Seeing this situation, Yang Jie stopped his smile and spoke seriously.
"Dabalagan, you know it yourself. You are from the grassland and don't understand the affairs of the Ming Dynasty. In that case, why do you think that these smuggling businessmen you talk about are not worthy of my investigation?"
"These mere businessmen you mentioned not only sell goods, but also smuggle weapons. If the price is enough, they will even leak information about our army. Why can't the court track down such thieves?"
"As for why it's me, it's because I've been trapped in the capital all my life, and I specifically asked Your Majesty to let me go to the grassland to relax. Are you satisfied with this explanation?"
Take a break...take a break?
Dabaragan's eyes widened. No matter how stupid he was, he could still realize that Yang Jie was talking nonsense. Fortunately, he could say it so seriously!
In a fit of shock and anger, Dabaragan asked bluntly.
"Master Yang, do you dare to say that you came to our Chahar Department for no other purpose than to track down this so-called smuggling matter?"
"That's natural."
Yang Jie nodded calmly. Immediately, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, he looked up at Dabaragan and asked.
"Otherwise, what do you think I am for?"
"Of course it is..."
As a nobleman of the Chahar tribe, Dabagan was once a confidant of Aga Dorji. When Yang Jie arrived at the Chahar tribe, he was responsible for receiving Yang Jie.
Because of this, he knew very well what Yang Jie was doing in the Chahar Department.
Hearing Yang Jie's slightly provocative question, he subconsciously wanted to answer, but after only speaking a few words, he hurriedly stopped.
This is a trap!
What did Yang Jie do?
He had only one purpose, and that was to encourage Agadolji to betray Tutuobuhua. What was terrible was that Agadolji was really persuaded by him, and actually took action.
Although it is said that both Aga Dorji and Totuo Buhua are both dead now, if this matter were to be revealed, there is no doubt that the mother would completely confirm the label of Aga Dorji's betrayal.
You know, there is also an envoy from the Ordos Department here now, and he is a die-hard loyalist.
The reason why they were able to live in peace for the time being was simply because they had a tacit agreement not to mention the matter.
However, if it is brought up on this occasion, Ming Dynasty can take advantage of the situation and push all the responsibilities onto Aga Dorji himself.
At that time, no explanation was obtained, but internal strife broke out first.
However, if we don't go on, how can we prove that Yang Jie is the instigator of civil strife in the grassland?
For a moment, Dabaragan was caught in a dilemma.
At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared from the side, saying.
"Dabaragan, I have known for a long time that the attack on the Great Khan was driven by Jinong's own greed, but your Chahar tribe insists that you were deceived by Mr. Yang. Now Mr. Yang is confronting you in front of you, but you are You can’t come up with a reasonable explanation, so it’s obvious that you are just talking nonsense, intending to divert misfortune and frame things up. You say, you deliberately sow discord between me and Ming Dynasty, what are the benefits?”
? ? ?
Everyone looked at the person who spoke, but what was surprising was that the person who said these words turned out to be Tuoli, the envoy from the Karaqin tribe.
This sudden change shocked everyone.
Especially Dabaragan, with a look of deep shock and anger in his eyes?
He really didn't expect that Tuoli would stab him in the back at this time. However, a more sudden change was yet to come.
Immediately after Tuoli, Albugu, the envoy of Ongli Guot's tribe, also spoke and said.
"Yes, Dabalagan, I think the Chahar tribe should give an explanation to all the tribes on the grassland who are loyal to Tuotuo Buhua Khan!"
The words were short, but they clearly expressed his attitude.
This sudden change caught people off guard. Jin Lian looked at the two envoys in the flower hall who were targeting Dabbaragan with some confusion on his face.
You must know that what is outside the city of Chen Bingxuan's mansion is the coalition of Wengliguote and Karaqin tribes. This is also the 'confidence' for these envoys to negotiate here.
These two films are so radical, and logically speaking, they should be the toughest ones.
In fact, in past negotiations, this was indeed the case. Compared with the Chahar Tribe and the Ordos Tribe, the Haraqin Tribe and the Wengliguote Tribe urged the Ming Dynasty to hand over Yang Jie more often and with greater intensity. On many.
However, no one expected that after Yang Jie actually appeared, they would be the first to switch sides.
etc……
His eyes fell on Yang Jie's calm and young face, and an idea suddenly came to Jin Lian's mind.
If he remembered correctly, in the past, although the Kalaqin tribe and the Wengliguot tribe were more anxious, but thinking about it carefully, their eagerness was more like finding Yang Jie's whereabouts rather than wanting Yang Jie's life. .
If you say so...
A flash of deep thought flashed across Jin Lian's eyes. It seemed that he had underestimated this young master of the Yang family.
Being able to turn the grasslands upside down, and being appointed by His Majesty to assist in negotiations after returning to the Ming Dynasty, this Yang Jie must have something behind him.
No wonder he dared to confront these envoys as soon as he arrived at Xuan Mansion. It turned out that he had already known it...
The change in the attitude of these two groups not only made Dabbaragan extremely shocked and angry, but also Dalantai, the envoy of the Ordos Ministry, was surprised. After reacting, Dalantai immediately faced Tuoli and Albu Gudao.
"You two, the Chahar tribe is also a loyal tribe of the Great Khan. The reasons behind the death of the Great Khan are complicated. Even if Jinong is really rebellious, it cannot be implicated in the Chahar tribe. What's more, today we are in front of I came here to find out whether the death of the Great Khan had anything to do with Yang Jie, so don’t get the wrong person."
Nowadays, among the several Tatar tribes, the Horqin tribe and the Tumut tribe are the main forces in the war with Oara, and most of their energy is still in the war.
You know, although Tuotaobuhua and Agadolji are both dead, the war is still not over.
This is related to the ruling model on the grassland. The entire grassland Khan Court is actually composed of tribes.
Including these large tribes, there are also countless small tribes under them.
This time Tuotuobuhua launched a war against Oara. It was large-scale and lasted for a long time. During this process, tribes of both sides, large and small, fought countless times, each with their own losses. The accumulated hatred has long been gone. One and a half stars.
Therefore, even if the Tatar side is leaderless after the death of Totubuhua and Agadoluji, and the leaders and nobles of each tribe are already trying their best to slowly stop the war, this process is destined to take quite a while. .
Moreover, these two ministries did not agree to stir up the sensitive nerves of Ming Dynasty under the current civil strife in Tatar, so these two ministries did not participate in this negotiation.
The remaining Asu tribe did not come because they were dissatisfied with the Chahar tribe's support of Aga Dorji's son Chuktaji.
Therefore, among the five major tribes that came this time, except for the Karaqin tribe and the Wengliguote tribe, which emerged as a result of the incident, only the Chahar tribe and the Ordos tribe came.
But even so, these tribes have different needs.
Before Yang Jie came back, these needs were not fully exposed, but with Yang Jie's appearance, their differences finally began to become apparent.
As everyone can see now, for each tribe, what they have in common is that they want to use the death of Tuo Tuo Bu Hua and Agado Erji to seek benefits from the Ming Dynasty.
However, in addition, each tribe also has its own demands. Dalantai is not clear about what the Kalaqin tribe and the Wengliguot tribe want, but what the Chahar tribe wants is very clear. What I want is Yang Jie!
Nowadays, the internal situation in Tatar is very complicated. As one of the few adult men of the Golden Family, Totuo Buhua and Agadoerji died at the same time. The major tribes that were originally harmonious have long been fighting for the throne. There is already an undercurrent surging.
Tuo Tuo Bo Hua had three sons before him. The eldest son Tuo Gu Si Meng Ke was born to Tuo Tuo Bu Hua and Altagalqin. He was the most legitimate heir. After this incident, Tuo Gu Si Meng Ke got Wengli. The support of Guo Tebu.
However, he has a huge flaw, that is, his maternal grandfather is Shabhutan, the leader of the Gorros tribe.
When the Tatars were in civil strife, Aga Dorji betrayed Totu Buhua and attacked and killed him in public. Tutu Buhua fled in panic and defected to Shabhutan.
However, Shabhutan was resentful because Totu Bohua had abandoned his daughter, Togu Simengke's mother Altagalqin, causing her to lose face in front of all the grassland tribes. Tuo Buhua lost power and killed him in the Gorros tribe.
As a result, Tuogusi's status was greatly shaken.
In addition to Tuogu Si Mengke, Tuotuo Buhua also has two sons, one is the second son Yexian Mengke who was born to He Yexian's sister, and the other is Marco, the youngest son born to his concubine Samuel. Gurjith.
Ye Xian Mengke's identity meant that he could not inherit the throne of Khan. He knew this, so he fled back to Oara as soon as the incident happened.
The remaining Marco Gurgis seems to be the most suitable candidate and is also supported by the Karaqin tribe. However, he also has a fatal flaw, that is, he is too young, only seven years old. .
However, whether it is Tuogusi Mengke or Marco Guerjisi, they are both the sons of Tuotuo Buhua. For the Chahar tribe, if any of them comes to power, they will inevitably liquidate the original incident. .
Therefore, the Chahar tribe finally chose to support Chuktaji, the son of Aghadorji. However, even if Agadorji was still alive, and Tuotuobuhua had adult children, this Jinong It is unknown whether he is qualified to inherit the throne of Khan, let alone his son. The move of supporting Chuktaji obviously does not convince the various tribes.
In particular, Totuo Bohua's former confidants, the Asso tribe, were extremely dissatisfied with the Chahar tribe's actions of betraying the Great Khan by following Aghadorji and then plotting to become the Khan. In the past few days, they had already had several conflicts. .
】
Therefore, for the Chahar Department, the most important thing at the moment is to protect themselves, and the best way to protect themselves is to blame everything on Yang Jie.
Although the fact of Aga Dorji's betrayal cannot be changed, the meaning of whether he had planned it or was instigated is completely different...
