Chapter 245: Lin Danhan is in action
Chahanhot, the capital of the Mongols, was built after Lin Danhan succeeded to the throne. It is located in the west of Tongliao City in the northeast of Chifeng City in later generations.
This capital is the pride of Lin Danhan. Although the city built by the Mongolians themselves is not as big as the cities of the Ming Dynasty, it is unique in Mongolia.
In this capital, a delegation of Jiannu came.
One of the missions served as the lobbyist who was on the Mongolian mission this time, that is the traitor Fan Wencheng. He presented the letter of the wild boar skin to Lin Danhan. Lin Danhan looked very happy after reading the letter. It was still very helpful for him to surrender the wild boar skin.
"Hmph, your Jin Kingdom was beaten by Ming Kingdom this time and came to find Ben Khan, right?" Lin Danhan asked with a smile. He didn't mind sprinkling some salt on Jiannu's wound.
"The Khan is wise, our Great Jin Kingdom has indeed suffered a defeat. However, if our Great Jin Kingdom is destroyed by the Ming Kingdom, I am afraid that the Mongolian commanded by you will not have a good life." Fan Wencheng bowed and said to Lin Danhan.
"Just, what does it have to do with our Mongolian defeat?" Lin Danhan sneered and said disapprovingly.
"You may not know anything about Da Khan. Now the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are no longer what they used to be. After their new king ascended the throne, they have rectified the military discipline and equipment of the Ming army. Today, the Ming army is not only equipped with excellent firearms, but also most of them are not afraid of death. The Ming Dynasty has such a powerful official army. If our Da Jin is destroyed by Ming Dynasty in the future, how can we not cause trouble for Mongolia?" Fan Wencheng said: "With Da Khan, your intelligence, should not be confused about the principle of losing your lips and cold teeth."
"Yes, my lips are gone and my teeth are cold." Lin Danhan suddenly smiled and said to Fan Wencheng jokingly: "This is what the Ming people say, but you Jin Kingdom don't understand the situation in Mongolia. Open your eyes and take a look. We Mongolia and Ming Kingdom are allies."
Fan Wencheng looked shocked. The Ming Dynasty and Mongolia allied operations were carried out secretly, and it was obvious that the wild boar skin didn't know.
"You are an alliance with Ming Kingdom, this... Ming Kingdom may be reluctant to be willing." Fan Wencheng even found it difficult to organize a better language to impress Lin Danhan for a while.
"You don't need to teach Ben Khan to do things. Go back and tell your wild boar skin. If he is willing to surrender to my Mongolian, Ben Khan can save his life." Lin Danhan said arrogantly, and then laughed.
It's so cool.
Fan Wencheng's mission to Mongolia this time was obviously back in vain.
Lin Danhan is not a fool either. How could he be moved by his words? On the one hand, the Ming Dynasty, which is known for its trustworthiness, and on the other hand, it is a wild and powerful wild boar skin. You can figure out who you should believe with your butt.
Moreover, the threat of the Later Jin of the wild boar skin to Mongolia is far greater than that of the Ming Dynasty to Mongolia. After all, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, despite the repeated sweeping of Mongolia, Mongolia will not be at risk of being destroyed as long as it avoids its edge. The wild boar skin is different. The wild boar skin has been constantly trying to win over the surrounding Mongolian tribes, which has posed a substantial threat to Lin Dankhan's rule.
Most importantly, since forming an alliance with the Ming Dynasty last year, Lin Dankhan's control over Mongolia has been greatly improved. In order to trade with the Ming Dynasty, Mongolian tribes sold their tribes' fur, cattle, sheep and horses at a good price, and exchanged them for various luxury goods that were much lower than before, and all the previous ones began to actively approach Lin Dankhan.
Because Lin Danhan led the Mongolian tribe to sell their raw materials and livestock at higher prices, and also suppressed the price of luxury goods, and could also buy a large amount of grain from the Ming Dynasty. The prices of tea, iron pots and other daily necessities have also declined, and Lin Danhan's prestige in various Mongolian tribes has increased unprecedentedly.
In particular, the Ming Dynasty sold a batch of excellent equipment to Lin Danhan, which allowed Lin Danhan to easily suppress two disobedient Mongolian tribes in the third year of the Apocalypse.
On the one hand, he helped him strengthen his rule over Mongolia, and on the other hand, the Later Jin Dynasty, which could threaten his dominance at any time, Lin Danhan chose to cooperate with the wild boar skin after his brain burned.
Once they break up with the Ming Dynasty, border trade will be directly blocked. By then, Mongolia will not only not get those luxury goods, but even necessities such as tea and iron pots will be difficult to obtain.
In Lin Danhan's view, the reputation of Ming State is still trustworthy. Moreover, under such a cooperation model, there is no need for conflict between the two sides.
After all, both the Ming and Mongolia who cooperated with each other can provide resources that each other does not have. As long as they are willing to live a peaceful life, there will be no conflict.
Obviously, Mingguo is a country that knows how to live a peaceful life the most. Even if there is any conflict, Mongolia will take the lead.
Of course, if the wild boar skin was willing to surrender to Mongolia and obey his orders, Lin Danhan did not mind intervening in the war between the Ming and the Later Jin to a certain extent.
But this kind of intervention is definitely not the kind of person who has broken up with the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, Lin Danhan had the idea at this time, just to sit and watch the Ming army beat the dog in the water and have the chance to grab a piece of fat from Mingguo, then he wouldn't mind rushing over and picking up a piece of fat. As long as he swallowed the meat into his stomach, Mingguo wouldn't be able to turn against him.
For Lin Danhan, the valuable things in the hands of wild boar skin are nothing more than the army under his command. Although the wild boar skin's soldiers and horses are not as good as Mongolia in riding and shooting, their equipment is still very good. If they can swallow a batch, the power in his hands will be stronger. At that time, it may not be impossible to talk to Ming Kingdom about conditions and gain greater benefits.
Fan Wencheng's mission was driven out of the Mongolian capital in shame, and returned to Shenyang in vain, bringing the news that made him crazy to the wild boar.
After Lin Danhan rejected the alliance intention of the Wild Boar Skin, he began to prepare for the Western Expedition to the North of Mo. After all, the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty fought to death, and there was nothing wrong with Mongolia for a while.
Lin Danhan, who obtained a batch of excellent equipment, decided to take action against Mongolia in the northern desert, thereby expanding his ruling territory to obtain more raw materials and horses that could trade with the Ming Dynasty.
Mongolia in northern and southern Mongolia have been disobedient to each other for a long time, and this situation has been maintained for many years.
Mongolia in Mobei has fewer opportunities to get in touch with civilization, and its weapons and equipment are very garbage, so it is naturally not a match for Lin Dankhan. Lin Dankhan is still very sure of his western expedition to Mobei. In particular, Lin Dankhan also won over several Mongolian tribes in Mobei in advance and had a leader party, so he naturally couldn't help it.
The Jinyiwei also spyed on the information of Lin Danhan in Mongolia to prepare for the western expedition to the north of the desert. Zhu Youxiao, who received this information, immediately smiled and said to Tian Ergeng: "It will be no harm to our Ming Dynasty if you let them fight."
Lin Danhan turned his attention to Mobei, and he would definitely not be able to deal with the entire Mobei in the short term. This would be a less disturbing stick to the war to recover Liaodong in the next two years. Even if Lin Danhan conquered Mobei, the simple cavalry would no longer pose too much threat to the Ming Dynasty in the future. To be continued.
