Asbasi still complied with Zhang Yanling's request and wrote the letter and sent it to Batu Munch in the north of the city with a flying feather. The reason is simple, no one wants to die, and if possible, they always want to live.
Of course, the more important point is that Asbas believes that peace negotiation may not be a solution. With the current strength of the Tatar tribe, it is also wishful thinking to do something to the Ming Dynasty. The reason why he wants to arrest the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty is
It's just that he wants to get benefits. If he really killed the young emperor of the Ming Dynasty, there would be no actual benefits.
Moreover, Asbath really wanted to know what choice Batu Munch would make if he knew his life was in danger. Sometimes, people are very curious, especially now that Batu Munch is unified
After Monan, the relationship with the tribes was subtle, but they were harmonious. To find out what Batu Munch was thinking in his heart, in fact, Asbas and the tribes who submitted to him had always wanted to know.
things.
Asba wanted to know how important his life was to the Great Khan.
After sending the letter, he waited for half an hour before Asbath received a reply from Batu Munch. Originally, there was only one city away, and Feiyu could deliver the letter in a short time. After receiving the reply after such a long time,
Batu Munch must have considered this for quite some time.
Batu Munch's reply was very long. The letter said that he agreed to the peace talks and formally appointed Asbas to represent him and the Ming Dynasty to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty. If Asbas was killed, the peace talks would be terminated immediately, and the Tatar army would immediately
Siege the city.
It has to be said that Batu Munch is indeed resourceful. What he did was to tie Asbath's safety to the peace agreement, which was actually the smartest way. The implication is that he did it for Asbath.
He had to negotiate with Akito for his own safety. If Akito sincerely negotiated, it would not be detrimental to Asbas. If Asbas was killed by Akito, it would not be because of Batu Munch, but because of him.
Mingren didn't want to negotiate peace at all.
Next are the conditions for the peace negotiation. Batu Munch proposed not many conditions, only three.
The first article requires the Ming Dynasty to officially recognize the existence of the Northern Yuan Dynasty and recognize it as the orthodoxy of the Yuan Dynasty. You must know that after the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty, the Meng Yuan Dynasty was driven to the north of the desert, although it still called itself the Yuan Dynasty.
, but it has long existed in name only.
Especially after experiencing internal divisions, the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was divided into branches such as Wac, Tatar, and Uliangha. Among them, Tatar occupies the southern and northern areas of Momo, Oara occupies part of the western desert, and Uliangha occupies eastern Mo.
In addition, there are some other small tribes that are also independent. These tribes have established themselves as khans and claim to be the orthodox of the Yuan Dynasty. However, none of them have been recognized by the Ming Dynasty.
Even though they later retreated to the next best thing and changed the country's name to Beiyuan, seemingly accepting the fact that the Yuan Empire had been driven out of the Central Plains, the Ming Dynasty still did not recognize them. Batu Munch was only called the Little Tartar Prince.
, it can be seen that he would never call him Khan, let alone acknowledge his so-called Beiyuan status.
Batu Munch's first condition was actually to ask the Ming Dynasty to recognize his orthodox status in the Yuan Dynasty. Not only did he want the Ming Dynasty to recognize him as the only legitimate political power of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, but he also had the intention to be on an equal footing with the Ming Dynasty. He has a big appetite and a strong spirit.
It's obvious how high it is.
The second condition is to require the Ming Dynasty to compensate for the loss of two million taels of silver in this war, open the Jiubian Forging Market, allow Tatar merchants to freely enter and exit the Ming Dynasty border trade, and relax restrictions on trade goods.
This article is also extremely excessive. It is tantamount to requiring the Ming Dynasty's nine-sided city to leave the Tatars undefended in disguise. Moreover, some important strategic materials needed by the Tatars will also be continuously delivered to them, and some science and technology will also be supplied to them.
Bei Chuan. That is tantamount to raising tigers and causing trouble.
The third item is that the Ming Dynasty must pay a so-called ransom of silver to the Tatar emperor every year. In name, it is the silver paid to redeem the freedom of the Ming Emperor, but in fact it is annual tribute silver. The required amount is, every year
Eight hundred thousand taels of silver.
Batu Mengke's letter stated that the Ming people must agree to all the conditions he proposed before dark today, and they are not allowed to bargain. If they do not agree after the deadline, the peace agreement will be invalid, and they will launch an attack. And after capturing the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty, they will
will be executed directly.
Asbath didn't know how he felt after reading this letter. Such harsh conditions even seemed excessive to him. How could Akito agree?
It is said that he is appointed as a full-power peace representative, but all the conditions are not allowed to be changed, and he only has one day to respond. So what is the meaning of his name as a so-called peace representative?
However, Asbath also saw the implication of Batu Munch's words. Batu Munch was obviously afraid that Akito was stalling for time, so he locked up the last time. Otherwise, if the delay continued and Akito's reinforcements arrived, the consequences would be
Unthinkable.
In this situation, if you put yourself in Batu Munch's shoes and think of yourself as Batu Munch, you may not be able to make a better decision. After all, Batu Munch still gave yourself respect. At least he agreed to the peace negotiation.
, and put forward conditions.
After Zhang Yanling saw these three conditions, he was not as furious as Alsbas imagined. Instead, he smiled.
"Chief Asbas, it seems that your Dayan Khan did not give you much chance of survival. Do you think such a peace agreement can be achieved? I even suspect that he used my hand to kill you."
"Master Zhang, please don't sow discord. If you really want to negotiate, you may not be unable to agree to these conditions. In my opinion, they are all legitimate demands. If you are unwilling to agree, then you are not sincere. Or you want to
Deliberately delaying time." Asbas said solemnly.
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Well, I can't make the decision to agree to these conditions. I need to report to the emperor for his decision. Commander Asbas, it seems that we have to trouble you to come with us."
Asbath said: "Where to go? To Monolith City? I won't go."
Zhang Yanling sneered: "Can I help you?"
Asbath shouted: "If you kill me, then if I follow you into Monolith City, I will become your hostage. I will not come back alive. Instead of doing this, it is better for you to kill me here. I
My people can even cut you into pieces to avenge me."
Chen Shiyi cursed angrily: "You bitch, you're trying to hold us hostage."
Zhang Yanling waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Commander Asbas, you are going to the city to see the emperor to discuss the peace agreement. If you don't go, how will the peace agreement be signed if the Ming Emperor agrees to the terms?"
Asbas shook his head and said: "No matter what you say, I won't go with you anyway. If you want to kill me, just kill me now. Go and report to your emperor yourself. If he agrees to these three conditions, the Great Khan will
I will definitely treat you like a honored guest and I will never attack you again."
Zhang Yanling said: "It seems that you are the ones who are not sincere. These three conditions are just a joke. You just want to kill me, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In this case, everything we said before was in vain. Look.
Come on, I can only kill you."
Asbath shouted: "I swear to God, I will never hurt you. I will just let you go back to the city to report. Do you think I am a fool if you insist on forcing me to die?"
Zhang Yanling said: "There is no point in swearing. How do I know if you will turn around and fall out?"
Asbath frowned and said, "I, Asbath, keep my word. Who doesn't know that I, Asbath, am a man of my word? I will never do that kind of thing."
Zhang Yanling sneered.
Asbas smacked his lips and said, "Since you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it. How can I still deceive you when I'm in this situation? The terms of the peace agreement are here. You just go back and report to your emperor. In short,
Just give me a reply before sunset today. You also have a reply from the Great Khan.
You see, I, Asbasi, will never attack you in advance. If we can reach an agreement, everyone will be happy. I don’t want to attack the city, but the people who died are all from my Duoyan tribe, and they are all from me, Asi.
Brother of Bath. If you don’t want to believe me, just kill me.”
Asbasi was talking verbosely, half lying on the carpet, as if he was a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water.
Zhang Yanling muttered: "Commander Asbas, just now I heard someone calling you daddy, right? Is that your son?"
Asbas said in confusion: "What are you doing? What do you want to do?"
Zhang Yanling sneered and said: "Of course, let your son follow us into the city and be a hostage. If you don't keep your word, I can also kill your son to vent my anger."
Alsbas did not expect Zhang Yanling to be so straightforward and shouted: "No, absolutely not. Jida is my only son..."
Zhang Yanling waved his hand and said to Chen Shi: "Chen Qianhu, cut off his head. Let the brothers prepare, and let's kill him out."
Chen Shi nodded, stepped forward, grabbed Asbath's bun and pulled it back, exposing his fleshy neck. He flashed the long knife and placed it on Asbath's neck.
Asbath hurriedly shouted: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, I agree."
Chen Shiyi spat and said, "You're a bastard. If you don't eat the toast, you'll have to drink it as a penalty."
Asbas shouted: "Master Zhang, my son is going with you, you can't torture him. Even if the peace agreement fails, you can't kill him. In short, I will wait until the time limit is up before attacking the city. By then you can't
Blame me."
Zhang Yanling nodded and smiled and said: "Don't worry, if you keep your promise, I will keep my promise. All I want is that you don't go back on your word, and the deadline cannot be brought forward. Then your son will be fine. If the peace agreement cannot be reached, we will see you on the battlefield. That's okay.
There is no need to take it out on your son."
Asbath nodded and said, "That's it."
Chen Shiyi sneered and said mockingly: "You are unwilling to leave with us because of your own life, but you don't care about your son's life."
Asbath was angry and didn't answer.
Zhang Yanling said solemnly: "I still have conditions. You must agree."
Asbath said angrily: "What other conditions are there?"
Zhang Yanling said: "You will know in a moment. Call your son here first. I have remembered his appearance, so don't use others to deceive me. If you play tricks, you are seeking death."
