Chapter 273: Dare to fight me?
When Lin Danhan returned, it was already autumn. The horses and sheep were fat on the grassland. This conquest of Mongolia in northern deserts caused Lin Danhan's power to expand rapidly, and what expanded was his ambition.
With the victory over Mongolia in the northern desert, the area controlled by Lin Dankhan expanded significantly. Lin Dankhan is now known as a 400,000 string control man.
As autumn begins, basically all Mongolian tribes are waiting to engage in bilateral trade with the Ming Dynasty. It is obvious that the past trade has made these Mongolian tribes taste the sweetness, so when autumn comes, they are already a little impatient. They are preparing for wool, fur, cattle, sheep and horses for trade.
Lin Danhan still attaches great importance to the trade this year. The trade in Zhangjiakou area continued smoothly this autumn.
The Mongolians rushed to a large number of livestock, but there were only war horses. The Ming Dynasty also provided a large amount of food, tea, silk and cotton, but there were only weapons and equipment.
Both sides seemed to be afraid of each other. The reason why Lin Danhan stopped providing war horses to the Ming Dynasty was mainly because he was scared by the combat effectiveness of the Ming cavalry, and was afraid that the Ming Dynasty had gained too many war horses, which threatened Mongolia's dominance over the grasslands.
Although Lin Danhan's ambition was very inflated, he had no thoughts about the Ming Pass.
The Mongols have always been harassed by the pass, but the national policy implemented by the Ming Dynasty was to build high walls. The cities in various places were so high that the Mongols felt despair when they saw them. Those cities could not be attacked at all, not to mention that the Ming Dynasty still had many artillery guns. There were rows of artillery guns on the walls of Zhangjiakou. The black muzzles were scary when they saw them.
No matter how powerful Mongolia is in this matter, it will not pose any threat to the Ming Dynasty. Lin Danhan's ambition is mainly reflected in areas outside the Ming Dynasty and the Northeast where the Ming Dynasty is constantly immigrating.
Seeing that the Ming Dynasty did not sell weapons and equipment for them, Lin Danhan immediately sent people to Zhangjiakou to negotiate. However, the Ming Dynasty also sent people to negotiate the issue of war horses.
The negotiations between the two sides were obviously ineffective. The Mongols used the excuse of attacking the northern Mo horses and suffered serious losses. The Ming Dynasty also used the excuse of saying that the combat equipment of the Later Jin Dynasty was seriously damaged.
Although the negotiations were not successful, trade was still underway. Both sides had such interests. The Ming Dynasty now needed Mongolian cattle, sheep, horses, wool and fur. Although there were no war horses, the Mongolians still had sufficient supply of post horses for the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty is now developing rapidly in marine transportation, and the demand for heavy carriages on land is also increasing. The demand for post-use horses is still very large.
While the trade between the two sides was underway, Lin Danhan set his sights on the Songnen Plain area where the Ming Dynasty was clearing. The Ming Dynasty had no cities and too strong defense forces there. Seeing the Ming Dynasty expanding northward, Lin Danhan felt the crisis and began to try to curb the Ming Dynasty's expansion.
What the Mongols didn't know was that when Zhu Youxiao received Lin Danhan's victory and returned, he had decided to launch a war against Mongolia and decided to lead the army in person.
Zhu Youxiao's decision shocked the ministers. Of course, in order to keep it confidential, only a few ministers including Shen Qing and Sun Chuanting knew about it.
"Your Majesty think twice! The risk of the imperial commander's personal expedition is extremely high. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable!" Shen Qing was almost shocked and sweated in a cold sweat, fearing that another Tumu Fort change would occur.
"Your dear, don't worry, I won't command indiscriminately." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.
The basic agreement was made by the Imperial Commander in person, and the next step was the perfect stage of the plan. The Supreme Command came up with a detailed plan a few days later. After Zhu Youxiao looked at it, he immediately ordered it to be implemented.
Then the Supreme Command began to dispatch troops and generals, and at the same time sent envoys to the Mongolian royal city. The Mongolian royal city was very close to Liaodong, just in Chifeng City, which was later in the later generations, and part of western Liaoning occupied by the Ming Dynasty, was less than a hundred kilometers away.
Lin Wence once again became an envoy to Mongolia. This time he came to the Mongolian royal city and brought 100,000 silver dollars. When he saw Lin Danhan, Lin Wence asked someone to carry the silver dollars in.
"What does this mean?" Lin Danhan asked in surprise, why did he lift a bunch of silver? What are you doing?
"I heard that Khan, you took in the remnants of Jiannu's tribe, and my Holy Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was very excited. The Ming Dynasty and Mongolia are a country of friendship, and Jiannu is our common enemy. As long as the Khan is willing to kill all the remnants of Jiannu's tribe immediately, I am willing to pay one million silver dollars as a thank you. These silver dollars are deposits." Lin Wence said.
Hearing Lin Wence's words, Lin Danhan's face changed and he said in surprise: "This... how could I take over the remnants of Jiannu's tribe? What you hear in your country is just groundless."
"Whether it is groundless or not, it is just a tacit understanding. If the Khan insists on taking over the remnants of Jiannu's tribe, it will be a loss of morality. My Ming and Mongolia will no longer be a country of friendship from now on." Lin Wence said.
"So what if it's not a country of friendship?" Lin Danhan sneered. As the lord of the grassland, he was naturally arrogant and arrogant. How could he resist the threat in the subtext?
"If Mongolia does a rebellious act and insists on protecting the remnants of Jiannu, then our Ming Dynasty doesn't mind using force to solve the problem. Where can Mongolia go? It's only a matter of the Khan's thoughts." Lin Wence said strongly, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Haha! What a rebellious act. I, Mongolia, are not affiliated with your Ming Kingdom. What do we want to do and still need to obtain the consent of your Ming Emperor? If you Ming Kingdom wants to speak with your fists, our Mongolian 400,000 string-controlling warriors are willing to accompany you." Lin Danhan suddenly laughed wildly.
"Since the Khan has made a decision, how dare the Mongol Khan fight with my Holy Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?" Lin Wence asked coldly.
"Why don't you dare? Since your Holy Emperor of Ming Kingdom wants to fight with Ben Khan, he will let him come over." Lin Danhan was excited by his words, and his blood immediately surged, slapped the table in anger and responded loudly.
"Okay, this is the war letter of our Holy Emperor. If the Khan has the courage, please accept it!" Lin Wence took out a war letter, and Lin Danhan immediately asked him to take over the war letter, and then tore it apart in person to let someone translate it.
The war letter is not long, only says: All the kings under the world are the kings, and all the kings and ministers are the kings. I am the lord of the world. Since there are those who do not accept the king's transformation, I should personally come and attack them. Can the barbarians who are transformed from the outside dare to fight me?
After hearing the translation, Lin Danhan's beard was almost pissed off on the spot. He slapped the table on the spot and said angrily: "Child, how dare you bully me, Mongolians, no one. Since you want to fight, I will accompany you to the end, so that you will never return."
"Arrogant, your Ming Kingdom is really arrogant."
"Our Mongolian Iron Cavalry is invincible in the world, and the emperor of Ming Dynasty is nothing!"
