Maybe it was because he was bullied too much by Mang Gurtai.
Faced with Mang Gurtai's roar, Fan Wencheng was speechless for a moment.
Huang Taiji on the side saw this and did not stop him. Instead, he allowed Mang Gurtai to curse.
Who was Su Polu? He was just a general in the Ming Dynasty. He didn't even have a title, and he dared to ask for money from the emperor.
What's this? This is a naked insult to Hou Jin.
Although Hou Jin doesn't care about face.
If I get cold feet in front of so many people, it won't just be a matter of embarrassment.
After a while, Mang Gurtai got tired of scolding him. Seeing that Fan Wencheng didn't say anything, he wanted to step forward and beat him up.
Huang Taiji's quick eyesight and quick hands hurriedly grabbed the opponent.
It's okay to curse, but if you really take action, you really won't give Su Polu any face. The current Hou Jin could not withstand the double attack from the Ming Dynasty and Su Polu.
"How can you talk to the Liaodong King's envoy?
Let...let...let you pay the money to the emperor to pay tribute to you? If the King of Liaodong is really angry, do you think Yaozhou's mere 50,000 miscellaneous soldiers can withstand a casual blow from the King of Liaodong? "
Fan Wencheng, who had regained consciousness, said tremblingly.
"King of Liaodong? Could it be that the Ming Dynasty emperor made Su Polu the king of Northeast China? No, it's impossible. With the Ming Dynasty emperor's ability, even if Su Polu's merits are enough to make him a king, he may not be able to make him a king. Not to mention, Su Polu's merits are not enough to be crowned king.
Even if the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty conferred the title of king on Su Polu, Hou Jin's information would definitely not be unknown to such a big matter.
Then there is only one possibility, Su Polu wants to make himself king! "
As long as Su Polu dares to establish himself as king, Daming will never let him go. As long as the other party's head is not kicked by a donkey, he will never intervene when Hou Jin and Daming are fighting.
In this way, Hou Jin will be saved.
After thinking about all this, Huang Taiji hurriedly whispered a few words into Mang Gurtai's ear.
"Fan Wencheng, let me ask you if Su Polu wants to make himself king." Mang Gurtai shouted.
"Yes. No,...no."
Fan Wencheng, who was startled, quickly denied it.
Although with his own efforts to persuade, Su Polu planned to become king on his own, but the best time to become king was not now, but after the Ming Dynasty officially sent troops to Jiannu.
By that time, the imperial court must have given top priority to the overall situation and acquiesced to Su Polu's behavior.
Even if the imperial court wants to settle accounts with Hou Jin, it will only happen after Hou Jin is killed.
How about taking the opportunity to occupy the territory of North Korea and Hou Jin and become a veritable king of Liaodong?
Or cross the sea and expedition to Japan. Or continue to give in to the Ming Dynasty.
All need to be judged based on the fighting situation between Ming Dynasty and Jiannu.
The reason why he now hangs the banner of King of Liaodong is just based on the principle of not taking advantage of the bastard, and taking advantage of Jiannu's weakness to extort more supplies from Jiannu.
Since the Ming Dynasty implemented the blockade of Jiannu, Liaodong's specialty products, mink skin, leopard and ginseng, have been in short supply in the Ming Dynasty, and their prices have also skyrocketed.
In the past, everyone fought wars, but they also did business in private.
Jiannu used mink skins, leopards, donkey-hide gelatin, ginseng, etc. to exchange for porcelain, cloth and other supplies from Su Polu.
Later, Su Polu's men used these Liaodong specialties exchanged from Jiannu to exchange for a large amount of supplies from the Qiming Chamber of Commerce.
According to Su Polu's counselors, self-reliance requires capital.
For Su Polu now, in addition to the army in his hands, his capital is the materials in his hands.
With a strong enough army, the court will naturally treat itself with caution.
But a strong army needs supplies to maintain its combat effectiveness.
Although Su Polu's men are not short of food, other supplies are still in short supply.
In particular, if Su Polu wanted to be independent, iron ore and gunpowder were indispensable.
Although there is no shortage of blacksmiths and craftsmen who prepare gunpowder under Su Polu, they are far from being able to supply themselves.
Although Su Polu had been stockpiling supplies before, it seemed that it was obviously not enough now.
And the decisive battle between Ming Dynasty and Jiannu was the best opportunity for self-reliance.
Once you miss this opportunity, you may never have such a good opportunity again.
If you want to become king, the only way left is to blackmail Jiannu.
. . .
Zhu Dinghai is one of the few people who knows the Ming Dynasty's true plan to pacify slaves.
After seeing Fan Wencheng constantly urging Su Polu to become independent, a plan appeared in Zhu Dinghai's mind.
Letting Su Polu become king was not a rebellion at all, but to deceive Jiannu and make Jiannu believe that Su Polu would not stab Jiannu when Jiannu was at war with Ming Dynasty.
In this way, in order to cope with the pressure from the court, Jiannu will definitely concentrate his forces to fight Zhu Dingguo's army first. By then, the defense here will definitely be empty.
At this time, it is time for the tigers of the Polu Army to come out of the cage.
So Su Polu, Zhu Dinghai, and Fan Wencheng combined their efforts and sent Fan Wencheng out directly.
The reason why Zhu Dinghai sent Fan Wencheng was based on the principle of waste utilization.
Su Polu now has a large number of Han troops recovered from the slaves. Although they were incorporated into the army, Su Polu did not discriminate against them.
But Zhu Dinghai could see that these people had not yet completely returned to their homes, and there was a certain distance between them and Su Polu's main force.
Sending Fan Wencheng out was, first of all, to show that he valued the people who had taken refuge in him, so that those Han soldiers could put down their burdens and return home as soon as possible.
Secondly, it was to make Jiannu believe that Su Polu really wanted to make himself king.
The people guarding Yaozhou are Huang Taiji and Meng Ertai.
As Fan Wencheng's previous master, Huang Taiji naturally knew that Fan Wencheng had an inexplicable hatred for Ming Dynasty.
If the news that Su Polu wants to become king comes from Fan Wencheng, the slave chief will be more likely to believe it.
Even if Jiannu doesn't believe it, killing Fan Wencheng will allow everyone to fully understand Jiannu.
And this place will be much cleaner in the future.
As for joining the Jiannu slaves again, that was simply impossible, let alone whether Fan Wencheng, who had been sold once before, would be willing to do so.
Even if he is willing, will Jiannu believe it?
Even if he believed it, would Jiannu dare to accept the other party?
Do you really think Su Polu has a good temper?
The 100,000 troops under him are watching.
Last but not least, let Fan Wencheng speak out so that he can deceive people in the court.
Zhu Dinghai knew very well the virtues of officials in the court.
The number of people who can get things done can be counted on one hand.
Not only are those who cannot get things done not only ashamed, but they are also willing to attack those who do practical things.
Jiannu was not a fool. They would definitely not keep the news that Su Polu wanted to become king a secret, and would even try their best to convey the news to the capital as soon as possible.
In this case, the officials of the imperial court are still not allowed to explode?
Is Fan Wencheng a good excuse then?
This matter was said by Fan Wencheng, a big traitor, not by us. Besides, who is Fan Wencheng? It's just a dog raised by Jiannu Huang Taiji. What does it have to do with me?
Why are you biting me so hard?
