The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

While Tang Hao was resting, the Mongolian Civil War suddenly broke out.

After passing through the sieve of fire and deliberately throwing fire into the fire, he finally made up his mind to completely rebel against Batu Mengke.

This time, he was not fighting for Mandu Haihadun, but for himself.

Fire Sieve needs an answer. Why would Batumengk do this to him?

Why would Batu Mengke prefer to canonize the leader of the Horqin tribe Ordo Guhai as Noyan and give him the status of a legal lord, but couldn't give me a fire sieve?

Because the Horqin tribe was powerful and was known as the "Two Hundred Thousand Horqins", Batu Mengke treated it as a brother, and promised that he would never split up the original Horqin tribe, nor send officials from the Khan's court to take charge of it. They just need to pledge allegiance to the Khan!

But, is this fair?

I will fight for you in all directions!

In the end, can't we compare to those outsiders from the Horqin tribe?

The human heart is inherently complex, not to mention mixed with interests, any emotion will become worthless in the face of interests!

Under the guidance of Mandu Haihadun, Batu Mengke devoted his life to the great cause of unifying Mongolia and would never stop for some personal feelings.

The right wing set up Jinong to command 30,000 households. This was a move that was conducive to the unification of Mongolia and the restoration of the golden family's dominance. Therefore, it was naturally impossible for Dayan Khan to give up the dream he had pursued throughout his life just because of a sieve of fire!

After Huoshai witnessed the terrifying firearms of the Ming army with his own eyes, he also developed some confidence.

Even if Batu Mengke has the help of the Horqin tribe, they still have no hope of winning!

At least in front of these terrifying firearms of the Ming army, any strong warrior is like a living target, unable to resist or fight back.

However, before the decisive battle with Batu Mengke, they still need more such firearms and artillery!

So Mandu Lai once again led his army back to Dongsheng City.

This time he did not come to attack, but formally formed an alliance with the Ming army and asked for as many firearms and artillery as possible.

Anguo was not surprised by Mandu Lai's arrival.

Because from the analysis of paper strength, there is a high probability that the right-wing Mongolia will not be able to defeat Dayan Khan's left-wing.

The key reason lies in the Horqin tribe.

Among the 30,000 households on the left wing, there were also Wuliangha bastards. These bastards were not honest people to begin with, and they had just slaughtered 5,000 soldiers by the Ming army.

Among the 30,000 households on the right wing, the Ordos tribe has always been a powerful tribe among the Mongolian tribes due to the existence of "eight hundred rooms", and its strength cannot be underestimated.

In such a comparison, it seems that the right wing is stronger. However, once the Horqin tribe joins the battlefield, 200,000 Horqin will not be a display. The strength of the Mongolian left wing has greatly increased, and Yibula, Mandu Lai and others have absolutely no chance of winning.

Mandu Lai didn't talk nonsense. He made his attitude clear the first time he saw An Guo.

"It's okay to form an alliance!"

"But we need more of these firearms and more of this artillery!"

Hearing this, Anguo was stunned for a moment, then stopped smiling.

"Lord Mandu Lai, maybe you have misunderstood my meaning."

"We can form an alliance with you or not. The worst we can do is wait until Dayan Khan kills you and face a powerful Mongolian tribe."

"During this period, it is enough for my Ming Dynasty to build border walls and build cities, so who wins and who loses in your civil war makes no difference to my Ming Dynasty!"

"So, put away your ridiculous arrogance. If you really want to form an alliance, you can also have firearms and artillery. Just give me something in exchange!"

Now, Mandu Lai won't be able to deal with it.

Before he came, Yibula had reminded him that he must threaten the Ming army with alliances and ask for more firearms and artillery as possible.

After all, the reason why the Ming army proposed an alliance was because they did not want to see a unified force appear on the grassland, which would be a great hidden danger to the Ming Dynasty.

Yibula also thought that he could use this to manipulate the Ming army, but who would have thought that the Ming army would not accept his trick at all.

If you want to form an alliance, you can also have firearms and artillery. You can exchange them for yourself!

Otherwise, there is no need to discuss anything!

People really don't want a unified force to appear on the grassland, but even if it does appear, they don't seem to be afraid at all!

Relying on these steel cities, coupled with these terrifying firearms and artillery, the Ming army indeed has the qualifications and confidence to sit back and watch the development of the grassland!

When he thought of this, Mandu Lai couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Then what do you want, Daming?"

"War horse? This is impossible!"

Without waiting for Anguo's answer, Mandu Lai rejected the deal with war horses.

"We are about to have a decisive battle with Batu Mengke. The war horses are related to the strength of the cavalry, so it is absolutely impossible to trade the war horses to you at this moment!"

Unexpectedly, Anguo laughed out loud after hearing this, and then mocked: "Who cares about your war horses?"

"My Ming Dynasty can now produce excellent war horses by itself. North Korea even dedicated the Jeju Racecourse to our Ming Dynasty, so our Ming Dynasty has no shortage of horses now!"

What?

How can this be?

Upon hearing this secret, Mandu Lai was so shocked that his expression changed.

Throughout the dynasties, it was not uncommon for the grasslands and the Central Plains to trade with each other.

However, both parties have a tacit unspoken rule that some of the goods traded in each other's trade are contraband.

For example, in the grassland, war horses are rarely traded, especially stallions that can give birth to cubs, which are absolutely contraband.

Anyone who dares to sell stallions to the Central Plains Dynasty will be guilty of genocide of the tribe if discovered!

You sell stallions to the Central Plains dynasty, and when they accumulate enough war horses and cavalry, they will have the strength to go out and fight. Doesn't this harm the interests of all grassland tribes?

Precisely because the war horse trade is relatively strict, and the Central Plains dynasty has been trying every means to ask for war horses because of the shortage of horses. For example, the tea-horse exchange market was established on this basis.

As a result, North Korea actually gave the Jeju Racecourse to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty now has no shortage of horses!

This is definitely not good news for all grassland tribes!

Once the Ming army has accumulated enough cavalry strength, they will definitely go out again to clear the grassland. When the time comes, with these firearms and artillery, who will be the opponent of these Ming army?

When he thought of this, Mandu Lai felt confused.

For the first time, he had doubts about his alliance with the Ming army!

The Ming Dynasty is indeed rising strongly!

Once the Ming army begins to march into the grassland, what should they do?

"We don't care about the war horses. You can keep them to fight with the left wing!"

"However, cattle and sheep are still of some use. They can be used as livestock power for my Ming Dynasty. You can exchange them for cattle and sheep!"

Anguo said with a smile and directly set a price.

"It's simple. One three-eyed gun has ten cows and ten sheep. One tiger squatting cannon has one hundred cows and one hundred sheep. The ammunition is calculated separately. One box of ammunition has one cow and sheep. How about it?"

As soon as these words came out, Mandu Lai became furious and cursed.

Moreover, he was scolding in Mongolian, speaking so fast that Anguo didn't even hear clearly. How much did this guy scold? He only understood one thing, "Why didn't you go grab it?"

"Yeah, I'm just robbing him!"

The smile on An Guo's face did not diminish, and he still looked indifferent.

“If you think it’s expensive, then you don’t have to give it up!”

"Furthermore, you have 30,000 households with tens of millions of people on the right, accounting for half of Mongolia. You can also build and produce it yourself. Anyway, you already have samples, so you can try to make it yourself!"

Hearing these ridicules, Mandu Lai turned around and left angrily.

There is no doubt that the first alliance negotiation failed.

Looking at the backs of Mandu Lai and these barbarians, Anguo sneered.

"Haha, do you really think I am a fool?"

"I want to give you such good firearms and artillery for free, so just dream!"

The captain of the soldiers witnessed the whole process and couldn't help but remind him: "General, don't overdo it."

"If they are reluctant to part with these cattle and sheep, or refuse to form an alliance with us, and are destroyed by Dayan Khan, then the mission entrusted to us by the Marquis will have failed!"

Anguo glanced at him angrily, laughed and cursed: "I'm not that stupid!"

"Tom Mu once said that negotiation is a science, and both sides have a bottom line."

"The lion will definitely open his mouth at the beginning. As for the final price, let's talk slowly!"

An Guo stretched lazily and said: "Anyway, we are not the ones who are anxious now, so negotiation is more beneficial to us!"

"Even if they don't want it now, they will naturally want it after they are beaten hard by left-wing Mongolia."

"No matter how outrageous the price is, they will have to buy it honestly, because once Dayan Khan kills him, everything in the tribe, let alone cattle, sheep and horses, will become Dayan Khan's spoils!"

"So, they can't afford to lose, and they can't lose at all!"

Anguo is not stupid. On the contrary, he clearly sees the key to the situation.

The mission of the Marquis of Zhongshan was undoubtedly to support the right-wing Mongolia against the left-wing Mongolia and delay the time for Dayan Khan to unify Mongolia so that the Ming Dynasty could re-build the border defense line.

As long as the right-wing Mongolia remains invincible, Dayan Khan will be trapped in the quagmire of this war, consuming the vitality of the Mongolian tribes, and the Ming Dynasty can take this opportunity to develop vigorously.

Under this situation, when the Marquis of Zhongshan is free, he can try to go out to conquer Mongolia.

"Send out scouts to monitor the grassland movements at any time!"

"If these trashes like Yibula and Mandu Lai really can't hold on any longer, we will have to take action then!"

Anguo cursed and spoke for the first time.

"I hope these losers can hold on for a little longer!"

Mandu Lai returned to the right wing and stated the requirements of the Ming army. After hearing this, the leaders of the right-wing nobles became furious.

There is no way, the Ming army's request is too outrageous!

It’s not a free gift!

And the price is ridiculously high!

what is this?

Taking advantage of others' danger?

Yibuza's face was very gloomy.

He didn't expect this Ming army general to be so difficult to deal with!

What a damn thing!

"Each ministry is raising cattle and sheep. At half the price, we will first purchase a thousand fire guns and fifty squatting tiger cannons!"

Yibula decisively ordered: "Mandu Lai, thank you for your hard work and go there again!"

"Tell those greedy Akito to buy it at half the price. If they don't want to, then let them die!"
