Chapter 160 The Tartar's Request for Help
Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Emperor Hongde and the ministers all had unconcealed smiles on their faces.
Everyone has the opportunity to be recorded in history for what happened today!
You should know that the Tatar Khanate in the northern border is completely different from the small and small countries around Dazhou.
As an empire with an area of nearly one-fifth, mainly composed of nomadic peoples, Tatars have been in constant confrontation with the Great Zhou Empire since the founding of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Now decades have passed, with the Tatars' controversy today, the confrontation has come to an end!
Emperor Hongde's heart was already full of joy.
The Tatars begged for surrender and surrender, which was a great achievement that Emperor Taizu of the founding country of the Great Zhou Dynasty had never made!
Emperor Hongde had decided that after he retired from the court, he would offer the Tatars's submission to the Taimiao, and he would show off to the ancestors of the Great Zhou Empire:
I, Emperor Hongde Yang Chong, are so awesome!
...
In a good mood, Emperor Hongde even took the initiative to speak and asked the Tatar envoy in the hall, "Meng Yuan took the initiative to submit a letter to the surrender, but what reward do you want?"
It was originally just a casual and polite word.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Emperor Hongde's inquiry, the Tatar envoy knelt down again and said excitedly: "I am the emperor of the Great Zhou Shang Kingdom. When the villain comes, I, Emperor Molun of the Yuan Dynasty, have an explanation. There are two things I have asked for this time. I would like to ask the great emperor of the Great Zhou Shang Kingdom to be generous!"
When the ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony heard this, they couldn't help but twitch slightly. Everyone could see that Emperor Hongde was just polite to the Tatar envoy.
Unexpectedly, the Tatar messenger actually climbed up along the pole.
Listen to what this said again, talent!
For a moment, dozens of thumbs were already standing up in the hearts of the ministers.
...
Jia Jing, who was standing in front of the military officers, couldn't help but praise him in his heart when he listened to the words of the Tatar envoy.
Listen, this is called flattery!
But, if you add a title and some words, aren’t you tired? Don’t you feel ashamed?
Well, the messenger really doesn't think so!
However, this move is indeed very useful to Emperor Hongde!
Sure enough, listening to the title of "the great emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty", the smile on Emperor Hongde's face was about to overflow, and he immediately said, "Let's talk about the matter, if it is reasonable, everything is accurate!"
After hearing Emperor Hongde's words, the Tatar envoy quickly kowtowed and thanked him, and then shouted: "Report to the Emperor of the Supreme Kingdom of Great Zhou, I, Emperor Molun, have two requests:
First, I hope that the Great Zhou can send troops to help the Mongol Yuan fight back the invasion of the Ola people and protect our Mongol people from peace!
Afterwards, the Emperor of Great Zhou asked the Emperor to agree to open a few more transactions around our Mongolian Yuan..."
...
As the Tatar envoy finished speaking, the Hall of Supreme Harmony gradually became quiet.
"It's nothing to open a mutual market, but this is sending troops to support..."
Emperor Hongde and the ministers were measuring and thinking quickly in their minds.
...
"You mean that the Oirat gathered a large army and invaded your Tartars...the territory of the Mongol Yuan? Then do you know the size of the Oirat army?"
Among the ministers, Duke Xu Yao of Wei took the lead in advance.
The Tatar envoy returned: "This time the Oirat army gathered, with a population of about 50,000. Our Mongolian Yuan army now has less than 20,000 troops to fight, and we are really unable to resist.
I hope that the Shangguo of the Great Zhou Dynasty can send a large army as soon as possible to help us!"
Above, Emperor Hongde spoke: "Since the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty has submitted a letter to the surrender, I will agree to this request to establish a mutual market!
As for sending troops to aid, because our Great Zhou army soldiers have also returned to Beijing for a short time, and it still needs some time to rest. I wonder if you can wait?"
The Tatar envoy bowed down and begged, "The Oirat army is approaching, and the war is imminent, and it is impossible to delay it! I hope that the emperor of the Supreme Kingdom of Great Zhou will be merciful to the thousands of creatures of my ancestors, and will be merciful!"
He paused and said, "In addition, Moron Khan said that only His Majesty needs to send the general who can drive the White Tiger to lead more than 10,000 troops, which should be enough to relieve my troubles of the Yuan Dynasty!"
...
Isn’t that the general who can drive the White Tiger Jia Jing?
When he heard that more than ten thousand men were enough to relieve the danger of Tatars, Emperor Hongde raised his eyebrows and said, "It's enough for more than ten thousand men?"
There was a bit of hesitation in his words.
"All more than ten thousand people are enough!"
The Tatar envoy said with great affirmation: "The general's achievements are brilliant and he is good at using troops. Even if he only has more than 10,000 troops, he is enough to defeat the 50,000 troops of the Oirat!"
Hearing his former enemy praise him so much, even Jia Jing couldn't help but smile a little more on his face at this time.
I have to admit that this person is really a good person to flatter!
...
On the dragon throne, Emperor Hongde fell into deep thought.
Judging from the current situation, part of the reason why the Tatars surrendered was that in the previous war, the Great Zhou completely destroyed them.
But the more important reason should be that the Oirat attacked, and they were unable to resist, so they were eager to recognize a big brother and help them fight through the difficulties.
Logically speaking, after this country surrendered, the first thing it asked for was difficult to refuse, but if Jia Jing was asked to lead his troops to fight, then his safety in Shenjing...
Emperor Hongde was in a little embarrassed.
"How does Jia Aiqing view this matter?"
Having no clues around, Emperor Hongde simply threw the problem in front of Jia Jing.
Jia Jing came out and replied to the upper hand: "I will report to Your Majesty. I believe that since the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty has now submitted a letter to the emperor, it is a country affiliated to our Great Zhou.
When the affiliated countries are in trouble, our Great Zhou, as the sect leader, should be brave enough to solve their problems!
Besides, there have been few things in Shenjing recently, and there are not many officials.
It is better to ask me to lead troops to support the Mongolian Yuan, which can not only fulfill our obligations as the sect leader of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also demonstrate our own military power.
Furthermore, if we return victoriously, how could Moron Khan tell us to return empty-handed? No matter how unhelpful I can also escort the tributes of the Mongol Yuan this year back to Beijing, right?!"
"Reward? Tribute?"
Emperor Hongde and the officials of the Ministry of Revenue were all lit up.
This year, we sent troops to the northern border to expedition, and the cost of money, food, and grass was a huge amount. In addition, Guanzhong has a severe drought this year, and after this New Year, the national treasury will probably be empty and even the rats cannot be kept.
Originally, Emperor Hongde and the ministers of the Ministry of Revenue were still worried about where the expenses would come after the New Year, but they did not expect that the Tatar envoy would come to him on his own initiative!
Wang Le, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, immediately stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, what Zhaowu Hou said is very much. The sect leader's country protects the subordinate countries under its wings. It is the right thing to do. I ask Your Majesty to send troops to help the Mongolian Yuan!
Then, Niu Jizong, Chen Ruiwen, Ma Shangde and others from the founding lineage, came forward and said, "I will discuss it!"
...
On the dragon throne, Emperor Hongde was already moved.
Emperor Hongde heard what Jia Jing meant just now. It was nothing more than the matter in Shenjing. Even if Jia Jing left Shenjing, his own safety would be guaranteed!
Since that's the case, it's natural that making money is important!
Emperor Hongde waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, then I will order Zhaowu Hou Jia Jing to lead the army and go to support the vassal state of Mongolian Yuan as soon as possible!"
When the Tatar envoy heard this, he hurriedly saluted again and shouted: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty! I have thanked His Majesty for the countless people in the Yuan Dynasty for the mercy of His Majesty the Emperor of Great Zhou!"
In the hall, all the ministers bowed and said, "My emperor is wise!"
Nodded, Emperor Hongde said: "The number of soldiers, horses, food and grass needed to rescue the Meng Yuan, as well as the need to rescue the rescue, after Zhaowu Hou decides, report it directly to me for approval!"
Jia Jing bowed and said, "My minister Jia Jing, receive the order!"
Chapter completed!
