The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Chapter 586: Journey to the West (Part 2)

After entering the big tent together, Lin Tailai and Sanniangzi met frankly and had an in-depth exchange.

After the first exchange ended, Sanniangzi looked at the ceiling of the tent slightly absent-mindedly, and sighed softly: "The feelings are really weak."

Lin Tailai: "???"

It’s not over, right? Already one person has entered the account, what else is there to do?

Then I heard Sanniangzi say: "Compared to before, the time is half shorter."

Lin Tailai replied angrily: "Do you know what altitude sickness is? I'm afraid of the wind coming soon!"

Although Xining is located in a valley with an altitude of only more than 2,000 meters, there is nothing wrong with caution.

Rumor has it that stronger people are more likely to have accidents.

After finishing the business, Lin Tailai temporarily pulled up his pants and started talking about business.

"Do you know how much chaos your right-wing troops have caused by crossing rivers and mountains from Mobei to the West Sea?"

Originally, there were many ethnic groups in the area of ​​Gannan and Xihai, and the Hailu were only part of them.

After a large number of Taolu tribesmen came over, the Hailu tribesmen of the same tribe felt that they had gained strength, which became an inducement for the Hailu tribesmen to cause rebellion.

Sanniangzi replied: "The public opinion of our northern tribes is this. The believers want to send Buddha back to the west and have no intention of causing trouble."

Lin Tailai sneered unceremoniously: "Could it be that after the peace negotiation, your ministries had a good life and started to eat enough to support themselves?

This time your so-called 100,000 tribesmen came to the West Sea just to send a dead monk to death. Are you just idle? "

Seeing Lin Tailai's frivolous tone, Sanniangzi responded a little dissatisfied: "What dead monk? That is the third holy Buddha of the Yellow Sect from Wusi Zang. As the saying goes, send Buddha to the West."

Lin Tailai said angrily: "No way? You don't really believe in this religion, do you?"

When I first introduced the Yellow Sect to the grassland, wasn't it just to deceive ordinary tribesmen? How can you, the leader, really believe this? "

Sanniangzi replied: "There are many believers in the tribe, so we as leaders naturally don't need to go against people's hearts!

It is not easy for our leaders to stop the believers from sending Buddha home. Moreover, for the sake of prestige, we have to come in person. "

Lin Tailai then informed: "But now the fact is that the pirates dare to cause trouble and violate our Ming Dynasty's borders.

The Ming court has re-appointed a group of ministers to plan the northwest and prepare to use troops against the pirates! "

The third lady was silent, not knowing whether she was thinking about something or pretending to be stupid.

Lin Tailai continued aggressively: "Twenty years ago, your old King Shunyi negotiated peace with the Ming Dynasty and accepted the Ming Dynasty's reward in name!

To this day, Ming Dynasty has never treated you badly!

Now the Ming Dynasty wants to use troops against the pirates in the sea, and a large number of your people are also in the West Sea. Shouldn't they help?

Hundreds of Fan barbarians in Hehuang land are actively responding to the imperial court. You Taolu, who are deeply favored by the Ming Dynasty, are not even as good as Fan Yi? "

The original task given by the imperial court and Governor Zheng was to urge the Taolu tribe to leave the West Sea as soon as possible, and they did not expect the Taolu tribe to help.

But Lin Tailai still had Zao Mo Zao to fight a few shots first, and proposed to let Tao Lu help encircle Hai Lu.

It's like negotiating a business deal. You ask for a high price before talking about it. How can you be so sincere and expose the bottom price?

Sure enough, Sanniangzi refused without thinking, "How can we kill each other for the sake of outsiders?

If we really help you to encircle and suppress the tribes in the West Sea, our tribes will become disloyal in an instant, and the existing order will fall apart! "

She was afraid that Lin Tailai wouldn't understand, so she added: "To compare my feelings, if I ask you to help attack the town on the other side of the Ming Dynasty, will you agree?"

Lin Tailai said unyieldingly and forcefully: "Are there not enough cases where various tribes in your grassland attack and kill each other?

There are countless people who have taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty and become high-ranking officials! What are you pretentious about? "

Sanniangzi further explained: "Among the leaders of the various tribes that are now rebellious in the West Sea, Huo Luochi is the great-grandson of Dayan Khan, the nephew of the old Shunyi King Ada, and the great-uncle of the current Shunyi King Bu Shitu!

Another leader, Zhen Taiji, is the grandson of the old Shunyi King An Da. Their team was appointed by An Da to be a pastoralist in the West Sea decades ago.

These leaders are all related to the leader of our headquarters, Bu Shitu, and our headquarters cannot help the Ming Dynasty, otherwise we will definitely be regarded as traitors by various departments! "

Lin Tailai saw that despite all the hard talk, the third lady still refused to help with the encirclement and suppression, and for a while there was nothing he could do.

This is politics. Politicians like Sanniangzi cannot destroy their own foundation for the sake of Ming Dynasty.

No wonder the imperial court and Governor Zheng never expected the Taolu tribe to help, and only wanted to let the Taolu tribe leave.

Thinking of this, Lin Tailai said in a still strong tone: "Now that you have arrived at Xihai, you can leave after placing the ashes of the dead monk in Yanghua Temple!

I solemnly advise you to leave the West China Sea and return north as quickly as possible! "

Seeing Lin Tailai calling him "dead monk", Sanniangzi said unhappily: "Please respect the beliefs of our grassland tribes."

Lin Tailai still said firmly: "Please also respect the market rewards given by Ming Dynasty!

If you are still stranded in Xihai, all tribute markets will be closed next year!

You take my words to the leaders and weigh the importance carefully in your mind! "

Closing the tribute market would mean restarting the war. At this time, Ming Dynasty still had this confidence.

The command system and defense mechanism are still sound and smooth, and the combat effectiveness of the border troops after the Longwan training is still continuing.

"I know, I know, I'll just listen to you." Faced with Lin Tailai's tough attitude, Sanniangzi seemed to soften.

She felt that her condition had recovered, and she pulled Lin Tai to have a second in-depth communication.

After the exchange, Lin Tailai felt hungry, so the third lady ordered the horse to be killed to entertain him.

According to the customs of the northern tribes at this time, killing horses and eating meat was considered the grandest banquet.

While waiting, Sanniangzi suddenly said: "Actually, I have a lot of information here, which should be very useful to you."

Lin Tailai said doubtfully: "What news?"

Sanniangzi replied: "For example, Walata Bu Nang, one of the three leaders of the Hailu, wants to sneak into the Xining Guards while we are returning from the east to the north."

"Huh?" Lin Tailai frowned, thinking in his mind.

Then Sanniangzi said: "There is another more important news. Jinong, the divination rabbit in Songlu, who you call Songlu, colluded with Huo Luochi, the leader of Hailu who caused rebellion, and tried to cross the Hexi Corridor to join Huo Luochi. ”

Songlu, like Taolu and Hailu, is also a specific concept, generally referring to the Lu tribe active north of the Hexi Corridor in Gansu.

Because it is mainly located near Dasong Mountain and Xiaosong Mountain, it is called Songlu.

And the Divination Lost Rabbit Jinong mentioned by Sanniangzi just now is a big leader in Songlu.

In the entire Beilu right wing, Bu Shitu Jinong was a very important figure, and his political status ranked among the top.

Lin Tailai couldn't help but complain: "You Tatars have too many people with the same name! There are a lot of divination rabbits, a lot of Huoluochi, and a lot of lucky bags!"

The current ten-year-old Shunyi King is called Bu Shitu, and the leader of Songlu is also called Bu Shitu Jinong, which sounds very confusing.

The third wife didn't know why, but she urged a little hastily: "Stop rambling, just tell me whether this information is useful or not?"

Lin Tailai replied disapprovingly: "Such vague news has no practical significance.

I also dare to say that Huo Luochi will definitely continue to harass Xifan. What's the use of this? "

Sanniangzi continued: "What if I inform you of their detailed updates in a timely manner?"

Lin Tailai asked doubtfully: "Didn't you just say that you can't betray your own clan?"

Sanniangzi responded innocently: "What I just meant is that our soldiers and horses cannot help you in the Ming Dynasty to encircle and suppress your fellow tribesmen. I didn't say that I can't help you inform you in private."

Lin Tailai was still confused, "You also said that Huo Luochi, the leader of the rebellious Hailu, and Zhentaiji are all relatives, and it is inconvenient to take action against them.

But Songlu Bu Shitu Jinong is the eldest grandson of the old Shunyi King Anda's brother, and he is also very close to your relatives. Why would you betray him? "

The third lady stretched out her hand, gently touched Lin Tailai's big face, and said softly:

"Isn't this all because of your enemy? You traveled thousands of miles to the West Sea, so you have to make a contribution, right?"

The Queen Mother, Queen, Young Wife, and Royal Sister suddenly became gentle and too lethal.

Lin Tailai suddenly felt that he could do it again, so he untied his belt and had a third in-depth communication.

After the storm calmed down, Lin Tailai looked at the tent roof and suddenly asked:

"I really can't understand that Songlubu lost rabbit Jinong actually colluded with the rebel Huo Luochi.

He is the eldest grandson of Lao An's brother Ji Nang, and he was appointed as the governor of the country. Why do he still have the intention to cause trouble? "

During the peace talks that year, Anda was named King of Shunyi, and Anda's two brothers were named Commander-in-Chief, second only to King Shunyi.

Therefore, the title of Governor Tongzhi of Jinong was considered very valuable, and the word "Jinong" also had a similar meaning to prince in Beilu, so not everyone could use it indiscriminately.

That's why it is said that Bu Shitu Jinong's political status ranks among the top in the entire Northern Lu right wing.

Why does such a winner suddenly want to cause trouble?

Sanniangzi replied very concisely and concisely: "He has been dissatisfied with Ming Dynasty since last year."

Lin Tailai continued to inquire deeply: "Why is Ji Nong dissatisfied?"

Sanniangzi hesitated for a moment and replied hesitantly: "He feels that Ming's rewards are unfair."

Lin Tailai felt more and more something was wrong, "Can you explain it more clearly? Why did Ming Dynasty reward him unfairly?

He has the title of Commander-in-Chief, and there are only two of you on your right wing. Aren't you satisfied? "

Sanniangzi seemed to be forced into a corner and said unavoidably: "The horse market quota there is only 5,000 horses, so maybe he is not satisfied with this."

Lin Tailai: "."

I understood it instantly and completely.

The money of the Ming Dynasty was limited, so the official transaction quota of Bianzhen Horse Market was also limited, and the amounts stipulated by several horse markets were different.

For example, the two horse markets that Sanniang Zi personally controls are the Datong Deshengbao Horse Market and the Xuanfu Zhangjiakou Bao Horse Market. In the past two years, the annual transaction volume has been 15,000 and 30,000 horses.

And the horse market corresponding to the prince-level divination rabbit Jinong only has a share of 5,000 horses? Only your third wife controls one-ninth of the share?

The total amount of transactions offered by Ming Dynasty is only so much. If you, the third lady, take away all the meat, won’t others just have to drink soup?

No matter how unfair the reward is, it’s all about business!

Lin Tailai subconsciously took a picture of the table and shouted to the third lady:

"What does it mean to be for me, and what does it mean to perform meritorious service for me? It turns out that it was you bitch who forced the fortune-telling rabbit Jinong to rebel!"

The third lady became angry and argued: "You gave me the quota of 30,000 horses for Zhangjiakou Fort, why don't I want it?

After all, it was Jinong who was greedy and dissatisfied, and was jealous of Zhangjiakou Fort's share! "

Lin Tailai's thoughts were divergent and he murmured to himself: "Last year I reorganized the Xuanfu, killed Lalik, supported you to ascend to power, and set the Zhangjiakou Bao horse market quota at 30,000 horses.

So Jinong, the Songlu Buhu rabbit in the west, felt that the reward was unfair and was completely dissatisfied.

Hailu Huoluochi has been extremely restless since last year, almost at the same time as Bu Shitu Jinong became dissatisfied. Could it be that he was bewitched and incited by Bu Shitu Jinong? "

Rounding things off, everything is universally connected.

Unexpectedly, my partiality towards Sanniang Zi also contributed a small amount of cause and effect to the Huo Luo Chi Tao River chaos.

Hey, if Yan Guan knew the connection, the memorial to impeach him would be at least three feet high.

Female lust harms the country!

The third lady in turn advised: "Stop thinking nonsense, just think it's for our future son and kill them!

After destroying the fortune-telling rabbit Jinong, we can move my son Butashri from Dabansheng City to there, so that in the future even Dabansheng City will belong to our future son! "

Lin Tailai squinted and said, "Jinong is your beloved relative."

The third wife tightly held Lin Tailai's big hand with her two small hands, "How can relatives have sons? From now on, I will give an extra 10% to the governor of Xuanfu."

Lin Tailai said very angrily: "I obviously rushed to the frontier with passion to serve the country, but I let you, a bitch, get involved in personal interests. It's not pure at all!

You politicians, compared to us border ministers who serve the country passionately, your hearts are dirty! "

Then he killed the horses and ate their meat. When he was full of wine and meat, Lin Tailai returned to Xining Acropolis.

Master Shi, the top inspector and half-step governor, greeted him anxiously at the gate of the city. He pulled Lin Tailai and asked in a low voice, "How is the situation? Are Mrs. Zhongshun still satisfied with you?"

Lin Tailai: "."

Lao Shi, your question sounds a bit unfair.

There was a lot of information gained this time, so Lin Tailai didn't elaborate on it at the city gate.

It wasn't until he entered the government office that Lin Tailai started talking about it.

"Mrs. Zhongshun has agreed to lead her troops out of the West Sea, but there are a few other pieces of news that are worth noting."

Master Shi quickly asked: "Is there any other news?"

Lin Tailai hesitated for a while and said: "You have to agree first. It is enough for you and me to know the news for the time being. There is no need to inform the governor for the time being.

After all, the military situation is changing rapidly, and we have to adapt accordingly. Asking the governor for instructions on everything will only delay the war, right? "

Master Shi: "."

Why are you, Lin Tailai, like this again? You are not afraid of the Governor looking for trouble, but he is.

Lin Tailai patted his pectoralis major and said: "Hold on! You're guaranteed to win! It's enough for you and me to share the work, there's no need for another one.

If it weren’t for you to command all the troops in Xining City, and I couldn’t mobilize the troops without you, I wouldn’t even want to tell you! "

Master Shi couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that you made Mrs. Zhongshun very satisfied this time."

Lin Tailai was speechless. He was most annoyed by such a vulgar and greasy middle-aged man who couldn't live without dirty jokes!
