Chapter 142 Exchange Conditions
"Min'er. You know this envoy of Mingren." Altan asked strangely.
"Yes, grandpa. I met him in the capital of the Ming people and in the Gilat tribe yesterday. But I didn't know his identity at that time." Nomin replied respectfully.
"Well. Not bad. At least your name has never lie to me again." Yang Ning said to Nuomin with a smile. Then he showed a complimentary expression and said, "The princess is worthy of being the pearl on the grassland. The pride of your tribe. Such a fairy-like figure is so beautiful that I am so glorious. I’m afraid there are not many women in our Central Plains who can compare to it.”
Yang Ning's words of praise made all the Tumote officials in the tent look proud and proud. However, Nuomin just smiled faintly and said, "Brother Yang has been awarded. The Central Plains have always been outstanding. There are so many people in the country that are fragrant. The woman, Nuomin Puliu's figure, wouldn't mention it."
"Princess. Modesty is a virtue. But after being humble, it will be a bit pretentious. According to your appearance, if you go to Central Plains to see a beauty pageant, you will definitely be full of beauty." As he said that, Yang Ning rushed again Altan raised his thumb and said, "Boss, it's even more amazing that you can have such an excellent granddaughter."
"Haha. You guys still have some vision." Altan was very happy to see Yang Ning praise his granddaughter like this.
"Brother Yang, let's talk about business first. After talking about business, let's talk about personal friendship." Nuomin's praise for Yang Ning was still calm. He walked to the empty seat next to Altan and sat down. To Yang Ning.
"Okay. Then let's talk about business. I'm the same thing as I said just now. If you still care about the little prince's life and death, then let's continue talking. If you don't care, then I have nothing to say. Where did I come from? Where to go back? From now on, we will do whatever we want. Of course. If you don’t let me go, then you can keep me. It’s just the life of the little prince. I’m afraid... Haha. I guess I won’t say it. You can understand, too."
Nuomin's expression remained unchanged and said lightly: "Brother Yang. Say something rude. Although you are a senior official in the Minli Supervision Bureau of the Ming Dynasty, even if we detain you, I believe that the Ming people would not dare to touch my brother. Because they can't bear the revenge rage of my tens of thousands of powerful cavalry in Tumot."
Although Nomin's tone was dull, the threat was very strong.
"Hey. I admit that I am a little eunuch. I am definitely not as valuable as your noble little prince. But now your brother is guarded by a group of people who are loyal to me. If they learn the news of my death. No matter how many army you, Tumote, have, I am afraid you will kill your brother to bury me as soon as possible. At that time, my life will be exchanged for the life of the noble prince. It is worth the death." Yang I would rather not care about authenticity.
A trace of anxiety flashed across Altan's face, but he didn't speak. He just looked at Nomine. Since Nomine appeared, Altan has never spoken again. It all depends on Numine and Yang Ning to deal with it.
Nuomin was silent for a while before saying, "Brother Yang said this situation is possible. But I don't believe it very much. If the Ming people let my brother's life and death be controlled by your people, it would be really stupid. I expected it to be right. Now my brother's situation should be exactly the opposite of what you said. You wise people must have sent elite men to protect him closely. Because you know that if my brother has something to do, you will face it. But it is the consequence of destroying the court and destroying the country. You cannot afford such consequences."
Damn, this Nomin is indeed a smart person. The current situation is just as she expected. That little bastard Hannaji is simply a hot potato. It's not like killing it. It's not like taking it off like this. It's not like getting it in hand. I have to protect myself carefully, for fear that something would happen to him and anger Altan. The consequences would be really serious by then.
Thinking in my heart, Yang Ning smiled and said, "Your Highness, Princess, you don't have to always use these words to scare me. I'm not that easy to fool. Your hundreds of thousands of troops are not that easy to say. I'm sent out. As for the reason? I guess you know better than me."
Altan's expression became a little unnatural. Nuomin's beautiful eyebrows shook slightly. However, he still said calmly: "Oh. Brother Yang is confused when he said this. Could it be that .I, Tumote's hundreds of thousands of cavalry, were all made out of thin air. "
Yang Ning shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm not saying that you made these hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry. It's just...hey. Since you insist on me explaining it clearly, I'll tell you eight words. There is a common saying in Chinese people. It is called 'Mantis stalks the cicada. The oriole is behind'. I wonder if the boss and His Highness the Princess have heard of it."
When he heard this, Altan's face changed. Nuomin suddenly fell silent. The officials who were lowly were a little confused. Only Du Shan and the right-right of the Tumot tribe showed some of them. The look of thought.
Yang Ning observed the reactions of the Tumote people and knew that what he said had a good effect. The reason why he said these eight words is actually very simple. Based on Ma Gui's introduction to the Mongolian tribes before. Yang Ning immediately clearly captured a very important information. That is, the enemy of the Tumote tribe was not the only one. The Tumote tribe to the west and the Northern Yuan orthodox regime to the northeast were constantly in conflict. He is still a mortal enemy. I guess the three guards in the east of him, namely Urian Hammongo. I'm afraid that they won't have much better relationship with him.
Tumote's current position is actually a situation where he is surrounded by enemies. There are three other forces that are comparable to him and are eyeing him. How dare he go out to attack the Ming Dynasty? I'm afraid that he has not yet broken through the borders of the Ming Dynasty. The old nest was taken down by others.
Now the reactions of Altan, Nuoming and others have just proved that what he had judged was correct. This is also one of the main reliances for his daring to come to the Tumote tribe this time.
After a long time, Nuomin slowly spoke: "Brother Yang has such a good vision and good knowledge. Okay, then we don't have to go around anymore. Please tell me your conditions. How can I let my brother come back? ”
Yang Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said lightly: "It's very simple. As long as you Tumot bow down to our Ming Dynasty, pay tribute every year, the two sides ended their long-term wars, reached a friendly reconciliation, and concluded a never-ending mutual aggression. treaty……."
Yang Ning had just finished speaking. Before he could finish his whole audience, the audience was in an uproar. All the officials were furious and excited. They could no longer care about Altan's orders just now. They laughed at Yang Ning. Sarcastic, start to scold.
"Fuck. This little barbarian is just a fool. He dares to surrender. He is not afraid of the wind blowing his tongue."
"Yes. Over the years, the Ming people were beaten like grandsons by us. They would only huddle in the city and not come out. Women's property was allowed to be attacked and plundered at will. At this moment, we actually surrendered to them. It was a huge joke. ”
"I saw this kid being confused by his mother's milk and then said such a funny thing."
"Kill this ignorant Nan barbarian. Let him talk nonsense here."
"Kill him. Split his five horses."
...
Yang Ning was still standing there quietly, even looking at the excited crowd with a smile. From time to time, he looked up at Altan, and then looked at the officials who were jumping and scolding. He shook his head helplessly. The disdain was beyond words. .
"Stop all."
The one who shouted out this time was Nuomin. It seemed that her order was also effective for Tumote and others. Soon they calmed down. They were still looking at Yang Ning with anger. The generals were even more angrily. His eyes were staring at Tongling. He looked at the posture and wished that Yang Ning could be swallowed alive before he could relieve his hatred.
Only then did Nuomin look at Yang Ning and slowly spoke: "Brother Yang, you saw it too. Their reaction is my answer. You want to threaten my brother's life and force our Tumot tribe to surrender. It's too whimsical."
Hearing Nuomin's answer, Yang Ning looked disappointed and said with a smile: "That doesn't matter. This state negotiation is actually like doing a business. I can ask for a price everywhere. You can also pay back the money. In the end, what I want is one. You love and I want to do it. Only this transaction can be accomplished."
Hearing that Yang Ning treated this national event as a business, Yinomin's indifferent and detached temperament could not help but smile. "Brother Yang, since you know you are asking for a price all over the place, then let's make a suitable one again. Price code'
"Of course. It's just... the next price code should not be made public. I want to talk to the boss and the princess in private."
Nuomin was stunned. He didn't expect Yang Ning to make such a request. He turned his head and looked at Altan Khan. Altan hesitated for a moment before nodding and agreed, "Okay. The eldest prince Xin Ai, Zuo Xiangdu is very kind, You Shu stayed. Everyone else should step down.”
With Altan's order, the civil and military officials of Tumot began to turn around and exit the tent in an orderly manner. Only Du Shan was left. The right prime minister named You Shu also had a thick and generous appearance and a dressed in leather armor. The strong man in the year must be the eldest prince Xin Ai. Yang Ning also recognized him. This person was the general who shouted the most fiercely when he spoke just now and wanted to kill him alive.
When he came, Yang Ning had already obtained information about Altan's family. Altan had three sons in total. The eldest son was Xin Ai. The second son died young. The third son made Hannaji's father Tieji.
After everyone was relieved, Nuomin spoke, "Brother Yang. Now you can say that your 'price' is right."
Yang Ning looked at Du Shan and others and said hesitantly: "Would you like to ask these three to go out too? The price code is of great importance. If the news is leaked, I am afraid..."
"Bastard. Xiaoman. What do you mean by saying this? Do you know what I am?" Before Yang Ning finished speaking, Xin Ai was already furious.
The right prime minister Youshu also showed a look of extreme dissatisfaction on his face. However, he did not have the status of a prince like Xin Ai, so he did not speak. And Du Shan also showed an unpleasant look on his face.
Nuomin also frowned and said, "These three are important officials of our clan. They are absolutely loyal and reliable. If you have anything to say, there is no need to hide it from them. Just say it."
"Okay. Since you said that, I will say it straight. Since you Tumot is unwilling to bow down to my Ming Dynasty, then we will settle for the second best. We want to exchange the little prince with you. We will give the little prince a try. Return you intact. You will return Zhao Quan and others who defected to your tribe during the Sejong Dynasty to my dynasty. This matter is over. See what you think."
Yang Ning finally gave out the established purpose of this trip. He just proposed to take the condition of the surrender of the Tumotes as a condition. In fact, he did not expect any good results. It was just a preliminary test he conducted. The result of the test He felt a little discouraged. Looking at the reactions of Tumote and others, it was really not easy to achieve the "Altan tribute" in history. After all, the hatred between the two sides over the past few decades is really It's too deep. Not to mention the Tumot Mongolian side, even in the Ming Dynasty, isn't there still a lot of resistance?
"It turns out that your ultimate goal is Zhao Quan and others." Altan suddenly realized.
Du Shan also looked suddenly. Xin Ai and You Shu looked at each other, and then their expressions became a little weird. The eyes flashed. I don’t know what thoughts were turning in my heart.
Although Nuomin's expression remained unchanged, he asked, "Is there any other conditions just for this?"
Yang Ning shook his head and said, "No more. As long as you hand over Zhao Quan and other traitors to us, we will definitely return the little prince to you intact. This transaction, do you think it's a bit of a headache. .”
Nomin nodded thoughtfully and said, "Not bad. At least we can discuss it further."
"No." Xin Ai shouted suddenly, then clasped his fists at Altan and said, "Father Khan, no. Zhao Quanan replied that he is your adopted son. What's more, since he surrendered, he has been respectful to his father Khan every year. Our tribe has given a lot of food, grass and money, and has made great contributions to our plunder of the Ming Dynasty. How can we hand him over?"
"Yes. Boss King. If Zhao Quan and others are handed over this time, which Han people dares to surrender to our clan again in the future? This will make the hearts of those Han people cold." You Shu also answered to Alice. Instructed.
"According to what you said, will the little prince ignore his life? Compared with the little prince's life, Zhao Quan and others, what is more important? I believe both of them know very well." Du Shan suddenly spoke.
"Hmph. Lord Zuo Xiang, don't forget. Zhao Quan is no longer the soft persimmon we just surrendered. He now occupies Kaihua City in Fengzhou. He has hundreds of thousands of troops and armored soldiers. Tens of thousands of people are not something we can move as soon as we want. If one is not done properly, it will arouse his alertness. If he starts a rebellion, we will have to be in trouble." Xin Ai said coldly.
Xin Ai's expression was extremely bad. Du Shan did not retreat at all. He retorted: "How big a mess can a mere Zhao Quan have to do with his troops of tens of thousands of people? Besides, as long as we keep the secrets of those present, please do whatever you want. Find an excuse to deceive him. He can catch him without any effort. What's the difficulty? His Highness, the Great Prince, doesn't want to replace him. Isn't it that he hopes that the little prince will be killed by Mingren?"
"You..." These words probably touched Xin Ai's heart problems and taboos. Xin Ai was furious.
"Okay. How can this be considered in front of the Ming envoy?" Altan finally couldn't help but speak. Then he said to Yang Ning: "Please go down and have a rest first. This matter is of great importance. Wait for us to discuss. I'll give you a reply in the afternoon."
"Okay. I just hope that the boss can give you the next answer as soon as possible. You know, the little prince is regretful now. He always wants to return to the grassland one day earlier." After that, Yang Ning withdrew from the tent with regret.
Just now, Yang Ning was very satisfied with the argument between Xin Ai and Du Shan. From their argument, Yang Ning heard many secrets that he didn't know before. For example: The left and right ministers of Tumot Disagreement. The left prime minister should be on the side with the Nuomin brother and sister. The right prime minister Youshu is on the side with the eldest prince Xin Ai; for example: It turns out that Zhao Quan now has a considerable force. And this Zhao Quan .80% have a good relationship with Xin Ai and Youshu, etc.
When Zhang Weinian and several guards were overjoyed when they saw Yang Ning coming out, they all looked overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Brother Yang, are you okay?"
Yang Ning smiled and said, "It's okay. Go and have a meal. Go and try the Mongolian meal."
The Mongolians used it to entertain Yang Ning and others. It was indeed a very sumptuous meal. It was much more hearty than what I ate at the Gilat All Sheep Restaurant.
After drinking and eating, Yang Ning and others were taken by servants to rest in the Mongolian felt bags for entertaining the VIPs.
After waiting boredly in the felt bag for several hours, Altan finally sent someone to summon Yang Ning again.
The location was still in Altan's tent. However, at this time, there were only two people in Altan and Nuomin. Nuomin's expression was still as plain as water. Altan's expression was a bit solemn and complicated.
"How? The boss and the princess have accepted the exchange I proposed." Yang Ning asked straight to the point.
Nomin looked at Altan and nodded, "Let's accept it."
Yang Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief. However, this was also as expected by him. A traitor from an enemy country. No matter how great he made, he was not as important as his own grandson and brother.
"Why? The eldest prince and the right prime minister are not objecting." Yang Ning asked with a smile.
"Hmph. What Ben Khan decided. How dare they object?" Altan said coldly.
"Brother Yang. This is my internal affairs. You don't have to worry too much. You just need to know. We can agree to replace people." Nuomin also said lightly.
"Haha. OK. I have no other intentions. I just want to remind you two of them so that no one will destroy this exchange. The little prince's life will be in danger." Yang Ning said lukewarmly.
Nuomin's expression moved, but he still said immediately: "Please rest assured by Brother Yang. Grandpa and I decided that no one in my clan dared to object. We still have a condition for the exchange."
“What conditions.”
"Now my brother is here with you. We don't know whether he is good or bad. Before the replacement, I want to send someone to see him. If the situation is as you said, I can feel at ease with you. exchange."
Yang Ning was stunned: This Mongolian was really not very at ease with the Han people.
