As the commander-in-chief of the Mongolian coalition, Bagan would have the possibility of cooperation in the future, so he would naturally receive preferential treatment after being captured.
Compared with other prisoners of war who were crowded in prisoner-of-war camps with harsh conditions, exposed to wind and sun every day, and could not even eat a full meal, Bagan was placed in a separate room in the corner of the Governor's Mansion.
He has three meals a day and a doctor to take care of his health.
When Zhao Junchen and Liang Fuchen came to the door of Bagan's room, they saw a staff member of the Governor's Mansion guarding here.
This staff member was proficient in Mongolian and was assigned by Zhao Junchen to be specifically responsible for Bagan's affairs.
Zhao Junchen walked up to his staff and asked: "Did Bagan show any expression after waking up? Is he still seeking death? Has his body regained its strength?"
The staff member quickly replied: "Since Bagan woke up and confirmed that he was defeated and captured, he has been silent, eating or drinking. His expression is full of defeat and despair, and his body has not yet been restored."
I have regained my strength, but I have no intention of seeking death again."
Zhao Junchen turned to Liang Fuchen and smiled: "It seems that Ba Gen has lost his will to die. This is a good thing. As long as Ba Gen is not blindly seeking death and survival, our certainty of successfully persuading him will be enhanced."
Liang Fuchen appeared and muttered: "Most people who seek death for the first time are out of impulse. Many people regret it when they get there. After walking around the gate of hell without seeking death, those who have the courage to seek death a second time are even rarer."
1... From this point of view, Bagan is only blood brave and pulse brave, not bone brave or divine bravery, so it shouldn't be particularly difficult to deal with."
(Note: There are four levels of courage in the ancient concept - a person who is brave in blood, his face turns red when angry; a person who is brave in pulse, his face becomes green when angry; a person who is brave in bone, his face turns white when angry; a person who is brave in spirit, his face turns pale when angry)
Change.)
Liang Fuchen was not good at conspiracy, and he always lacked precautions against those around him. This was his most obvious flaw, so he did not realize Li He's true face in time, but as one of the most important ministers in the temple, he
But his insight into human nature and the human heart is not bad at all.
After hearing what Liang Fuchen said, Zhao Junchen smiled and nodded in agreement, and then told the staff: "You accompany Mr. Liang Ge and me into the room. We want to talk to Bagan, and you can translate for us.
"
Liang Fuchen waved his hand and said: "No need. I have stayed in Shaanxi and Gansu for many years. In order to deal with the Mongolians, I also learned Mongolian. Daily communication is not a problem. I will handle the translation myself... I think.
To convince Bagan to put aside his hatred and cooperate with us, he must be under a lot of psychological pressure. At this time, the fewer people present, the better, and the fewer people there are, the greater the chance Bagan will agree!"
Naturally, Zhao Junchen would not disobey Liang Fuchen on such a trivial matter. After nodding, he took the lead in pushing open the door of Bagan's room.
After the two entered the room, they saw Bagan at first sight.
During the decisive battle on the Wei River, Zhao Junchen also met Bogen twice. The first time was when Bogen shouted to the Mongolian cavalry to boost their morale before the two sides started fighting. At that time, Bogen's performance could be described as impassioned, rude and heroic, but short-lived.
A few words revived the gradually sluggish morale of the Mongolian coalition, which did not disappoint the demeanor of General Junggar; the second time they met was when Bogen attempted suicide and fell into a coma after the war, but Bogen's image at that time was miserable.
He was a lot older, his neck was wrapped in a thick bandage, and his body was covered in dust and blood, but his expression when he was unconscious was still firm and decisive.
But at this time, Bagan's image was completely different from the previous two times. His face and body shape were much thinner, his face was gray, his eyes were dull, and his expression did not change at all, even when he saw Liang Fuchen.
After entering the room with Zhao Junchen, his eyes only moved slightly, and then he fell silent again.
In short, Bagan is like a walking corpse at this time, having lost all his grace and light.
Obviously, the destruction of the Mongolian coalition was a huge blow to Bagan.
Seeing Ba Gen like this, Liang Fuchen and Zhao Junchen looked at each other, but it was Liang Fuchen who walked up to Ba Gen first and said: "Ba Gen, I am the imperial envoy of the Ming Dynasty, the old cabinet minister Liang Fuchen.
When I meet you now, there is something I want to cooperate with you on!"
After hearing Liang Fuchen's self-introduction, Bagan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly trembled, suddenly raised his head and looked at Liang Fuchen, and asked: "Are you the Han imperial envoy? It was you who colluded with the traitors from the Mongolian right wing to defeat the Junggars."
warrior?"
Liang Fuchen's expression was a little embarrassed, but he did not take credit. He pointed at Zhao Junchen beside him and said: "I just came here recently. The Han imperial envoy who defeated you was this one. His name is Zhao Junchen, and he is also my Ming Dynasty.
An important minister of the dynasty."
Bogen quickly turned to look at Zhao Junchen - Bogen had some obsession with the Han imperial envoy who had defeated him, and it was the only thing that could attract Bogen's attention now.
But after Bagen saw Zhao Junchen's image, Bagen's face was filled with disbelief, and he murmured to himself: "It's absolutely impossible... I actually lost to such a person?"
If he were defeated by Liang Fuchen, Bagen would be a little easier to accept. After all, Liang Fuchen's image and temperament were full of majesty and wisdom. At such an age, he must be experienced and scheming, and he would be difficult to deal with at first sight; but Zhao Junchen
He has a young and weak appearance, even among the Han people, he is classified as a "white-faced boy", and it is exactly the image of the timid Han people that Bagan despises the most, so Bogen never expected that he would be defeated.
Zhao Junchen's hand.
Seeing Bagan just looking at Zhao Junchen blankly, his originally dead-like expression gradually became richer, and he was obviously very concerned about his defeat to Zhao Junchen.
Therefore, after Liang Fuchen translated the conversation between the two parties to Zhao Junchen, he signaled that Zhao Junchen would take the lead in the conversation, while Liang Fuchen was mainly responsible for the translation and would no longer take the initiative to interrupt.
Previously, Liang Fuchen did not allow staff who were proficient in Mongolian to enter the room. To a large extent, he wanted to take advantage of his proficiency in Mongolian to lead the negotiation, and wanted to take the opportunity to put Zhao Junchen aside, but found that Bagan was more concerned
After Zhao Junchen, Liang Fuchen believed that it would be easier for Zhao Junchen to persuade Bagan to accept cooperation than himself, so he took the initiative to give up the initiative out of consideration of the overall situation.
His consciousness was too high, he cared too much about the overall situation, and even sacrificed his own interests for the sake of the so-called overall situation. Such qualities are naturally admirable, but they were also one of Liang Fuchen's other obvious weaknesses.
On the other side, after receiving Liang Fuchen's signal, Zhao Junchen walked up to Bagan and said with a smile: "General Bogen, you and I have been close friends for a long time, and now we finally have the opportunity to meet! This time I will meet you
We met with sincerity and goodwill, hoping that you and I could cooperate and turn enemies into friends!"
Bagan believed that Zhao Junchen had defeated him with conspiracy and trickery, so he naturally hated Zhao Junchen. If he hadn't just woke up from a long coma and was weak and weak, he might have attacked Zhao Junchen violently.
.
Therefore, Bagan naturally dismissed Zhao Junchen's cooperation proposal. After snorting angrily, he said: "I am a prisoner now. You can kill or scrape me as you please, but if you want me to betray Galdan Khan,
, but it is absolutely impossible!”
Zhao Junchen still maintained a smile and said: "General Bagan misunderstood. We want to cooperate with you, not because we want you to betray Galdan Khan! In fact, the content of our cooperation is not for Galdan Khan.
It’s definitely very beneficial!”
After a pause, Zhao Junchen continued: "General Bagan, I also know a little bit about the situation of the Junggar Khanate. You have successively conquered the Western Regions, Mobei, Qinghai and other places, which can be said to be unparalleled, but
There are also many internal hidden dangers. Not to mention the continuous natural disasters in recent years, and not to mention that the tribes you conquered are still ready to rebel at any time. Let's just say that your master Galdan also has an older brother named Cewang.
They are all coveting Galdan's throne, and they have been recruiting troops at the foot of Tianshan Mountain these years... There are internal and external troubles, and there are many crises!"
After seeing Bagan's uncertain expression, Zhao Junchen added: "At this time, Galdan can only use war to alleviate the internal crisis, so I sent you to lead 50,000 cavalry to invade the grassland... The Western Regions
, Qinghai, Mobei and other places have a small population. If my expectations are correct, these 50,000 cavalry should be the only available troops in Galdan's hands, right? But now you have buried them all here.
, once the internal and external troubles of the Junggar Khanate break out one after another, will Galdan still have the ability to deal with it? I am afraid that the entire Junggar Khanate will be destroyed! When you conquered various ethnic groups, your methods were quite cruel, and you massacred the city.
Such incidents are not uncommon. How do you think the various ethnic groups will retaliate against you once the Junggar Khanate enters its decline?"
After hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Ba Gen gradually started to tremble.
Bagan naturally understood that Zhao Junchen's statement was no exaggeration. It was precisely because he understood these circumstances that he committed suicide to apologize after the defeat of the Weishui River. After the suicide attempt, Bogen fell into endless self-blame.
People are as chaotic as the walking zombies.
Zhao Junchen had already known Bagan's character from all aspects, so he easily caught Bagan's weakness!
Seeing that Ba Gen's will had been shaken, Zhao Junchen's voice became slightly softer, just like the seductive and depraved devil in Western legends, and continued: "Actually, for you, things are not the worst! According to
I know that the 50,000 cavalry under your command have not been completely destroyed, and there are still more than 10,000 Junggar cavalry left on the grassland! In addition, there are still many Junggar prisoners in my prisoner camp. As long as you
If you are willing to cooperate with me, these are the powers you can save...
At that time, I have prepared 200,000 stones of grain and grass on the grassland. As long as you can get this batch of food and grass in your hands, you will not get nothing this time. You can at least give Galdan an explanation.
Although the food and grass is not much, it is enough for you, the Junggar Khanate, to maintain your own military strength... In the end, I will even create conditions for you to break out of the crisis-ridden Mongolian grasslands and return to the Western Regions safely! At that time, Gol
Dan Khan recovered part of his troops and obtained a batch of food and grass. All internal and external troubles were naturally solved!
Of course, your failure in the Weishui War was all due to the betrayal of the Mongolian right wing. Now I have put Qigemu on the Mongolian right wing back to the grassland. After he returns to the grassland, he will definitely destroy him with all his strength.
The 50,000 Dzungar cavalry you left on the grassland will really be destroyed by that time! So, I hope you will make a decision as to whether you want to cooperate with me or not, otherwise you will regret it.
Got it!"
Bagan's expression became more and more uncertain. After struggling for a long time, he finally asked: "What do you mean by cooperation?"
Seeing Bogen relent, Zhao Junchen's smile grew brighter and he said: "In fact, I have helped you contact the Junggar cavalry on the grassland. As long as you agree to cooperate, I will let you
Select some of the Dzungarian prisoners in the prisoner camp, and then you can return to the grassland and join the Dzungarian cavalry on the grassland!
At the same time, as a condition for the Mongolian right wing to rebel against the enemy, I have promised Qigemu that I will escort 200,000 stones of grain and grass to the junction of Shaanxi and the Hetao Plain in thirteen days! I hope that this batch of grain and grass will be delivered
After it is in the hands of the Ordos tribe, you can snatch this batch of food and grass halfway! In this way, I have fulfilled my promise, not only allowing you to retain part of the Junggar Khanate's troops, but also allowing you to get 200,000 shi
forage!"
After hearing Zhao Junchen's proposal, Bagan sneered: "Is this your cooperation proposal? Why don't I see any benefits? These two hundred thousand grains are the hope of the tribes on the right wing of Mongolia for the winter. Once we intercept
Without this batch of food and grass, the Mongolian right-wing tribes will inevitably pursue them. By then, the Junggar warriors will not only be unable to keep this batch of food and grass, but will also be completely annihilated under the encirclement and suppression of the Mongolian right-wing tribes! Is this what it means?
Your purpose? You want the Junggar Khanate and the Mongolian right wing to further fight each other, right? Aren't you afraid that after I return to the grassland to join the Junggar cavalry, I will simply ignore your cooperation proposal and lead my troops back directly?
Western Region?"
Obviously, Bagan has gradually returned to his former shrewd state, but this is what Zhao Junchen wants to see.
Zhao Junchen shook his head and said slowly: "You are wrong, my goal is not to let the Junggar Khanate and the Mongolian right-wing ministries fight each other again. This does not do me much good... My real goal
, is the Hetao Plain in the hands of the Ordos tribe!"
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Bagan suddenly thought of something, and suddenly raised his head and stared at Zhao Junchen, as if he had seen a devil!
Zhao Junchen still maintained a smile and continued: "You are right. This batch of grain and grass is the hope of the Mongolian right wing for winter this year. After you intercepted this batch of grain and grass, the Mongolian right wing headed by the Ordos tribe will
A large number of troops will inevitably be sent to pursue you. At that time, the attention of the entire Mongolian right wing will be focused on you, and the Hetao Plain will fall into a situation of empty troops and insufficient defense. At that time, wouldn't it be me?
Is it a great opportunity for the Ming Dynasty to send troops to regain Hetao? By the time the tribes on the right wing of Mongolia come to their senses, the Hetao plain has fallen into my hands, and it is too late to return for support!"
After a pause, Zhao Junchen continued: "I'm not worried that you will break the contract then. You Junggar cavalry are guest troops on the grassland and have no ability to replenish food and logistics. The two hundred thousand stones of food and grass are also yours."
The only hope! If you break the contract and do not seize this batch of food and grass by then, at worst, I will give up this opportunity to recapture the Hetao, but you will get nothing. Without logistical supplies, you will not escape the Mongolian right-wing troops at all.
Opportunity for encirclement and suppression!
On the other hand, if you choose to cooperate with me, after you have this batch of food and grass, you will not have to worry about logistical supply issues. Even if you are pursued by the Mongolian right wing ministries, as long as you can escape far enough and persist
The time is long enough. After the Mongolian right-wing troops receive the news that the Hetao Plain has been taken away, they will no longer care about chasing you, but will rush back to the Hetao Plain to support you. By that time, your crisis will be solved.
, it is no longer so difficult to return to the Western Regions safely!"
At this point, Zhao Junchen's expression was full of goodwill and sincerity, and he spread his hands and said: "You see, this is a win-win cooperation! You have obtained food and grass, restored the damage to your troops, and also got the opportunity to return to the Western Regions, and we have gained
In the Hetao Plain, the only thing that was damaged was the Mongolian right wing, but after the Weishui War, I think you don’t want the Mongolian right wing to have an easy time, right?"
After hearing Zhao Junchen's complete plan, Bagan was stunned for a long time.
The seemingly frail and young Han in front of him was far more cunning than Bagan imagined, and his plan was actually so vicious.
Suddenly, Bagan felt that his defeat to Zhao Junchen was not an injustice!
Bagan raised his finger and pointed at Zhao Junchen, gritting his teeth and said: "Did you use the same rhetoric when you persuaded the Mongolian right wing to betray me before the battle? You only used a mere two hundred thousand stones of food and grass to stir up the changes on the grassland.
, causing the various Mongolian tribes to fall into endless fighting among themselves, and you are reaping the benefits! You, you are a devil!"
Zhao Junchen's expression became more and more full of goodwill, and he chuckled: "Believe me, when I cooperated with the Mongolian right wing, my sincerity was far less than what it is today. At that time, it was just a try. Unexpectedly, the Mongolian right wing agreed very quickly.
But even without the sudden rebellion of the Mongolian right wing, your Mongolian coalition would never be able to break through and escape... But I have considerable expectations for this cooperation. If General Bagan finally refuses, I will be quite disappointed.
of!"
After saying that, Zhao Junchen stared closely at Bagan's face and asked: "In order to show sincerity, I have informed you of my overall plan without any concealment or falsehood. Now it is General Bogen who repays your sincerity."
It’s time, do you want to agree to my proposal and cooperate with us to complete this win-win plan?”
This time, Bagan remained silent for a long time.
After half a stick of incense, Bagan said slowly: "Give me two days to think about it!"
After hearing Bogen's answer, Zhao Junchen and Liang Fuchen looked at each other again, and both saw the smile in each other's eyes.
Under such circumstances, Bagan's so-called "consideration" means that there is a high possibility that he will agree, but he just can't let go of his face for the time being.
Zhao Junchen nodded lightly and said: "Okay, I will give you time to think about it, but I hope General Bagan will make a decision as soon as possible! These two hundred thousand stones of food and grass will be shipped to the Mongolian right wing in thirteen days. The Mongolian right wing will definitely
I will deal with the Junggar cavalry on the grassland before getting the food and grass... I have the patience to wait, but I'm afraid that the Junggar cavalry won't have time to wait!"
After saying that, Zhao Junchen and Liang Fuchen left the room.
Only the pale Bagan was left with a tangled expression.
