Chapter 193: Heartbroken Lin Danhan
It is very common for the Mongolians to believe in the Yellow Sect.
Tibetan Buddhism also has methods of practicing, and there are also a group of real monks. However, there are many monks who have not practiced to become Buddhas. The Yin Gods are simply crowded, and the demand for incense is naturally huge. Therefore, Tibet has become a social system with a high degree of unity of politics and religion, and it has continued to have an impact on the Mongolians.
The White Lotus Sect also wanted to establish a society like Tibet to gain a lot of credibility. However, there is a group of Confucian political elites in China that they can't compete for it.
Tibetan Buddhism cannot fool the Chinese rulers, but the Mongols have no culture! Even Lin Danhan is the target of being deceived.
Tibetan Buddhism in later generations also opened up the "Hong Kong market". Many Hong Kong rich people often booked special planes to invite these masters to their homes. They offered delicious food, drink and fun for several months, and there was a big red envelope before leaving. This is not a fool. Money can only cause the devil to push the grind, and both parties only trade.
Lin Danhan originally believed in the Huang Cult, but suddenly converted to the Red Cult. He was obviously deceived by the Red Cult with his supernatural powers, and the political public relations of the Huang Cult were obviously relaxed. But the Huang Cult naturally refused, so he influenced the Mongolian tribes through the influence of religion and developed strong dissatisfaction with Lin Danhan's rule.
For the Mongolians who had no culture, their worldview was simply chaotic. The influence of religion on them was so great that although it had not reached the point of recklessness, it should not be underestimated. After the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, it used the Yellow Sect to control Mongolia, restricted Mongolia's population growth, and made Mongolia very weak.
This kind of rulers are fooled by religion. This is not uncommon in history. For example, the last Tsar Emperor, Neilra II, was also fooled by the charlatan. The old witch Cixi was also fooled by the Boxer Rebellion, staged a crazy declaration of war on various countries, triggering the war of the Eight-Nation Alliance invasion of China.
Naturally, Lin Danhan's rule over Mongolia at this time had already shown signs of instability.
At this time, the Ming envoy who was sent to Mongolia suggested that it could help Lin Dankhan consolidate his rule. Lin Dankhan was naturally very interested. Regardless of whether it was reliable or not, please ask clearly before talking about it.
"It's very simple. Trade." The envoy of the Ming Dynasty said lightly.
"What's the point?" Lin Danhan immediately looked disdainful and leaned on the chair, not too interested. The messenger smiled and further said: "If our Ming Dynasty prohibits all the smuggling merchants, then only the Khan can trade with us?"
"This..." Lin Danhan was shocked and his face changed. He was worried that the Ming Dynasty would control him through the monopoly of trade, but it seemed that he had caught something.
"The Mongolian tribes all need tea, iron pots. The nobles of the Mongolian tribes also need these silk, satin, spices and porcelain. If our Ming Dynasty bans smuggling merchants completely, it will turn us into an official transaction with Mongolia. At that time, which Mongolian tribe is disobedient, you can exclude them from the trading list." The Ming Dynasty envoy then threw out something that completely touched Lin Danhan. He continued: "And in this way, other Mongolian tribes will no longer be able to obtain weapons and armor for combat from those smuggling merchants. However, you can buy a large number of weapons and armor from our Ming Dynasty. At that time, you can arm your Mongolian tribes and be loyal to your Mongolian tribes to fight those Mongolian tribes that lack weapons."
At this moment, Lin Danhan was moved, almost completely moved.
If the Ming Dynasty could really ban those smuggling merchants, and the only one who designated to trade with Talin Dankhan, and was willing to sell him a large amount of weapons and armor, then his rule over Mongolia would be as stable as Mount Tai.
Whoever is obedient at that time will give you more trade volume, and whoever is not obedient will not want to participate in trade. Can you also build a cavalry that crushes centrifugal Mongolian tribes in equipment, who dares to fight against Talin Dankhan?
"And once a snow disaster in Mongolia freezes a large number of cattle and sheep, our Ming Dynasty can also sell food to Dahan. At that time, Dahan has food in his hands and is able to help those affected Mongolian tribes, and your prestige will definitely increase." The Ming Dynasty envoy continued to induce.
"But if the transaction situation of the previous government-organized transactions are restored, what should you do if your Ming Kingdom sets the price of goods very high?" Lin Danhan felt doubts and vigilance again.
"We can promise that the transaction will be absolutely fair. We will not exchange one tael of silver for goods like those smuggling merchants. Moreover, whether we smuggled merchants in the Ming Dynasty is not something that Mongolia can decide." The envoy of the Ming Dynasty continued with clever words: "If we trade in Zhangjiakou, our Ming Dynasty goods will definitely not be 30% higher than the price within the pass. This is no more than 30% premium, mainly freight. Then after you trade with Da Khan, our Ming Dynasty goods will be distributed to Mongolian tribes. For example,
For example, if you buy 1 tael of silver from the Ming Dynasty goods and sell them to the Mongolian tribes, you can sell 3 taels of silver or even 5 taels of silver. The extra silver is owned by Dahan. In addition, you can also earn the difference in fur, wool, and horses you collected from the Mongolian tribes. For example, if a war horse is sold to us for 20 taels, you can exchange 10 taels of silver for goods and then sell it to us for the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Dahan you have earned a large amount of silver and control various resources. It is difficult for other Mongolian tribes to be disobedient."
"This, this..." Lin Danhan's eyes turned red on the spot. This was simply a road to becoming rich! If this could be true, it would only take a few years to make a lot of money.
If both parties trade fairly, Lin Danhan can gain benefits, and the Ming Dynasty can also gain benefits. Obviously, only Royal Capital can participate in such a transaction. At that time, Royal Capital will monopolize Mongolia's fur, wool, horse and other businesses.
After all, both sides take trade to the government and re-plan the market so that both rulers can benefit.
After hearing what the envoy of the Ming Dynasty said, Lin Danhan suddenly felt a thriller: It turns out that he can still do trade like this!
After calming down, Lin Danhan thought about whether the Ming Dynasty would ban smuggling merchants from causing losses to Mongolia, but asked the Ming envoy: "Do you Ming Kingdom have the ability to crack down on smuggling merchants?"
If a monopoly trade model is to be adopted, if those smuggling merchants exist, Lin Danhan will not be able to completely monopolize resources.
From worrying about the Ming Dynasty cracking down on smuggling trade to worrying about whether the Ming Dynasty has the ability to crack down on smuggling trade, it was a dizzying turn.
"Our emperor has the determination and ability to combat smuggling trade. As long as we sign a covenant, our emperor can take action immediately." The envoy of the Ming Dynasty replied confidently.
"Okay, then we will sign the alliance." Lin Danhan made the decision directly. He seemed reckless, but in fact he thought it very clearly. The Ming Dynasty did this to them, but it was also good for Lin Danhan. This is indeed a matter of mutual benefit. (To be continued...)
