After the situation in Liaodong eased, Wang Chaofu also successfully completed the tasks assigned to him by the emperor.
He spent several days to find out the true strength and background of the Mongolian tribes that had surrendered.
Although they suffered a double blow from the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu, and many civil wars broke out, their troops still numbered thirty to forty thousand.
And stationed right on the edge of the Great Wall, it was like a sharp blade pressed against the throat of Ming Dynasty. It was too threatening.
The most frightening thing is that according to his investigation and reports from the Jin Yiwei who stayed behind, many tribes have interests in Datong general Yang Hong, colluding secretly, and even buying and selling weapons and armor.
Wang Chaofu knew that this was what the emperor was most taboo about and what he least wanted to see. The border army generals were cheating on others, which was the source of some disasters.
After learning this information, Wang Chaofu had no intention of staying here. He had to return to the capital as soon as possible and tell the emperor.
In the name of the emperor and for the reason of military expansion, the dynasty wanted to forcibly recruit young Mongolians and bring them back to the pass to weaken their strength.
The leaders of each department must be reluctant. Without troops and horses, they would really become lambs to be slaughtered.
They used various excuses, but in short they disagreed life and death, so Wang Chaofu took away the young men of their tribe.
In the end, Wang Fu directly skipped them and asked those officials to go to various ministries in person to spread the news about the imperial court's recruitment of troops.
When the Mongolian leaders saw Wang Chaofu's insistence, they were too angry to say anything. At this time, they would never dare to fall out with Ming Dynasty.
Otherwise, the only road waiting for them is destruction. Lin Danhan is not an open-minded person.
Once they lose the protection of the Ming Dynasty, with the strength of the Chahar tribe, it is not difficult to defeat them.
In the current situation, they still have to submit to the Ming Dynasty. The only good thing they can think of is that at least they have returned grain, rice, money, and have resources to exchange.
In the end, it took a lot of effort and several days to recruit more than two thousand young Mongolian men.
Without the support and publicity of these leaders, most people would remain indifferent even if they were offered generous benefits and money.
In particular, there was no progress in the exchange of war horses. Except for the alliance headed by the Aohan tribe, which donated hundreds of horses, other tribes did not buy it at all.
Only then did Wang Chaofu finally understand why Long Live Lord was worried and on guard. These people were really just as Long Live Lord said, they were only superficially surrendering.
"The emperor does one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. We can't trust him too much. His move is really ruthless."
After Wang Chaofu left, many tribal leaders immediately gathered together.
Although the Mongolians have no culture, they are not fools. They can definitely see such obvious targeting and precautions.
But it was within their expectations, because they had no intention of truly joining the Ming Dynasty.
The current situation is turbulent and it is difficult for them to protect themselves, so coming to join them is just a temporary measure.
But what they didn't expect was that the little emperor really believed him and rewarded them with money and food, which gave them a lot of blood.
Although I realize it now, it's a pity that it's too late.
"It doesn't matter if he is on guard at all times. As long as we don't move and don't openly rebel against him, this little emperor can't do anything to us."
Guhu Timur said coldly.
Based on his understanding of the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Han people, he firmly believed that he could sit back and relax.
"Despite this, we can't be too optimistic. The little emperor has already noticed it, so we have to prepare early."
After this reminder, Guhu Timur also deeply agreed. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said:
"Now that God has given us a good opportunity, hundreds of thousands of our Monan Mongolian tribes are all here. Why don't we follow the example of the Tumote tribe, unite with each other, and unite as one to deal with the outside world."
"In this way, we no longer have to be afraid of Lin Dan Khan, Khalkha, Jianzhou Laonu and Horqin."
"If the Ming Dynasty wants to take any action against us, it has to think forward and think about the future, so that we can gain a foothold in the Monan Grassland for greater integration."
Hearing this, the other leaders looked at Guhu Timur fiercely. They did not expect that he would have such thoughts and ambitions.
Facing their strange looks, Guhu Timur didn't feel anything. Instead, he seemed very natural and calm.
"If you really want to join the Ming Dynasty, then just pretend that I didn't say it. If not, this is the only way we can go now."
"Is it possible that you still want to go back and continue to follow Lin Danhan?"
"If this is the case, then I would like to advise you that Lin Danhan is narrow-minded and has no extraordinary talents."
"He only has a few pounds of blood in his body to become such a sweat. If you follow him in the future, you will probably die without a burial place."
"On the grassland, the strong are respected. Whoever has enough soldiers and horses and strong enough strength will be the king of this grassland."
"If we join forces, our strength will not be much weaker than that of Lin Dan Khan. Why don't we make our own decisions and fight for hegemony over the grassland?"
Guhu Timur's words are indeed on point. Now the only people they can rely on is Daming, and then themselves.
If you don't choose the right path, I'm afraid you will be really sad in the future.
"But if this is really the case, then we will be at odds with the Ming Dynasty. Although the emperor is young, he is extremely brave and even dares to travel thousands of miles to conquer the grassland himself."
"And not all tribes agree with us. Just like the Aohan tribe, they must be on the opposite side of us. Wouldn't they be attacked from both sides?"
The leader of Wanhu from the Zarut tribe asked.
Some leaders nodded secretly after hearing this. This situation was indeed not what they wanted to see.
Taiji from the Sunit Department laughed, and then said:
"Hahahaha, why did you break up with Daming?"
"Now Lin Dan Khan and the Ming Dynasty are mortal enemies. It is impossible to reconcile the conflict, but we are still nominally the ministers of the Ming Dynasty."
"Even if we and Lin Dan Khan really go to war, it will be a war between Ming Dynasty and Lin Dan Khan, and the whole world will know it."
"At that time, the Ming Dynasty will not only assist us with food, weapons and other supplies, but also send troops to support us and jointly deal with Lin Dan Khan."
"When that time comes, we won't be able to work hard and leave all the wars to the Ming army, letting them consume each other. Wouldn't it be better for us to reap the benefits and seize the opportunity to gradually grow stronger and accumulate strength?"
"Whether it is the defeat of Lin Dan Khan or the defeat of the Ming army, we can take advantage of both sides, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and clean up the mess in the future."
You are absolutely right, this is absolutely beneficial to them and does no harm at all.
This is the truest inner thought of the Mongolian leaders sitting here.
After thinking and deliberation, several unwilling and ambitious leaders decided to do it.
