Chapter 116 Like a Dog
Sengge argued: "Tutuo, do you dare to say that you dare to lead our prairie men to attack the Han people's cities and castles? Every time you lead troops south, where can Those who were robbed were not ordinary old and weak people, and these old and weak people were robbed again and again. How could there be any profit to be extracted? "
"If we can establish a mutual trade with the Han people, not only can we be honest? Guangming's acquisition of food, salt and iron from the Han people will also allow the Ming people under the Han people to recuperate and recuperate. In this way, when we are at odds with the Han people again, the food and wealth accumulated by those Ming people under the Great Wall will be enough for us to survive another year. A cold winter. "
"But what about now? The Ming people under the Great Wall are not only poor and weak, but also don't have much accumulation of food and goods. We have to risk huge losses every time we go south. It is dangerous to go deep into the hinterland of the Han people to plunder enough food and goods. If things go on like this, it seems that we have the upper hand, but in fact we are fishing for the best!"
Tuotuo heard Sengge's remarks! Suddenly he laughed again.
Tuotuo pointed at Sengge and said: "These are all excuses. I think you are just afraid of the Han people! How can our heroes on the grassland be so forward-thinking and hesitant like you? Look at the Han man standing in the corner of the tent? He is like Is that what you said? In addition to a belly of winding intestines, what else does he have?"
The Han counselor Zhao Quan who was standing in the corner did not expect that he would be a transparent person on the side. About to be shot, I suddenly felt tired.
Originally, he was considered a miserable person in the Ming Dynasty. Whether it was the plundering of Anda or the exploitation of officials in the Ming Dynasty, it was almost impossible for him to survive.
So Zhao Quan chose to join the White Lotus Sect, thinking that relying on the guidance of Bai Lian's biological mother would give him a way to survive.
Unfortunately, this way of survival is too difficult.
Therefore, Zhao Quan, like a large number of suffering people living in Jiubian, chose to submit to Ada.
Ida asked them to engage in agriculture in Fengzhoutan, the land of Chilechuan mentioned by the ancients of the Han and Tang Dynasties, in order to achieve a stable livelihood, and called their gathering place "Bansheng".
As a follower of the White Lotus Sect, Zhao Quan is naturally smarter and smarter than ordinary people, so he soon stood out among the Han people who submitted to Ada. , became Anda’s trusted advisor.
Because Zhao Quan did give me a lot of useful ideas, in the days that followed, Ida also tried his best to make Zhao Quan more loyal and even got a grassland lady. He was given nondescript Mongolian titles such as "Ba Du Er Ha" and "Yi Bin Ruo Bu Lang".
From then on, Zhao Quan really planned for Anda wholeheartedly and constantly encouraged Anda to attack the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, Zhao Quan actively built a palace for An Da and wanted to respect An Da as the "emperor".
He also planned a strategy for him, allowing him to occupy Yunzhong and Shanggu, seal Juyong in the east, block Yanmen in the south, and be on his own. If he advances, he will occupy Shanxi, and if he retreats, he will return to Yunzhong and form a relationship with the Ming Dynasty. North-south trend. But it's a pity that Anda's thoughts are not here either.
Because there are too many tribal forces in Anda and people's hearts are too mixed. Moreover, he is also busy dealing with the war with the Ming Dynasty and thinking about mutual trade. Naturally, he has no time to worry about proclaiming himself emperor. thing.
So Zhao Quan feels a little depressed now under Ada's account.
So much so that even if he is belittled and slandered by Tuotuo now, he does not dare to fight back.
Live like a dog.
However, Anda is still very good at regulating his subordinates' emotions.
Ada stopped the argument between Tuotuo and Sengge again, "Why are you arguing? Don't Benhan's words have any effect? It's already June now, and it will be over in more than two months. It’s getting colder, so let’s think about how to spend the winter. If you are so noisy, can you help me create a beautiful and rich territory with abundant water and grass?”
Ida’s words suddenly made the quarrel again. Both parties fell silent.
Tuotuo bowed to Anda with one hand and crossed his chest: "Great Khan, Tuotuo is willing to help the Khan's pioneers go south to clear grass and valleys to stock up on winter supplies!"
An Da watched Tuotuo's movements. He knew that Tuotuo's faction was inherently warlike. If they were not given a chance to vent their anger and were allowed to continue making noise on the grassland, sooner or later something big would happen. So for the sake of internal unity and stability, An Da also said: "Okay, then I will leave this matter to you."
Tuotuo heard that An Da really agreed with him to go south to harvest grass in the valley. The smile on his face suddenly became proud, "Thank you, Khan!"
Seng Ge heard this and became anxious, "Father Khan, we still need to continue talking with the Han people. If Tuotuo acts like this, the mutual trade will be far away!"
Ida looked at Seng Ge and his slightly kind son, and sighed in his heart! , he knew very well that what Seng Ge said was right, but with so many forces within Tumut needing to be balanced, and so many people to feed, it would be useless to simply stay here and wait for the Han court to agree to mutual trade. Bottom line.
Therefore, in An Da's view, there is no conflict between the two things of clearing grass valley and inviting mutual markets.
Caogu should be beaten, and trade should be invited.
Otherwise, wouldn’t Tumut’s internal affairs be in chaos?
Ida said to Seng Ge: "The mutual trading business cannot stop. We still need to invite you, but we must not hinder the survival of the tribe. If they go to clear the grass valley, you will be responsible for inviting the mutual trading, and both parties will interact with each other. Don’t interfere. This matter is settled.”
I made the final decision and separated the two matters directly, leaving Tuotuo and Sengge to take responsibility for each issue.
Although it seems to be making trouble, the political wisdom in it is also very superb.
He just wanted to use this method to express his "goodwill" of "peaceful coexistence" with Daming, and leave the problem to Daming to make a decision.
No matter whether the final result is as expected or not, he will not suffer any loss.
Tuotuo happily left with his generals, and Sengge also left with a helpless sigh, leaving only Zhao Quan alone here in Anda.
At this time, Zhao Quan finally found a chance to speak. Zhao Quan performed a Han ritual on An Da, "Great Khan, you are a peerless hero on the grassland. I thought you should directly proclaim yourself emperor. , fight against the Zhu Ming court, and let them know that destiny has returned to the grassland! ”
An Da listened to Zhao Quan's excited words without any disturbance in his heart.
This is not because Ida does not want to be emperor, but because Ida is also self-aware.
Once he becomes emperor, there will be no room for return between him and Daming. Moreover, once he becomes emperor, he will not only have to face the crazy attacks from Daming, but also face the floating hearts within the grassland.
Under such circumstances, proclaiming himself emperor is undoubtedly the stupidest choice.
However, those led by Zhao Quan, who joined the Han people, never tired of it, as if it had become an obsession engraved in their bones, and they wanted to use this method to prove that they had the ability to assist the Ming Dynasty and be immortal. Wang Zuozhi is talented.
So when facing people like Zhao Quan, An Da could only sigh in his heart, can't he come up with serious ideas? I think about setting rules every day. Who set these rules for whom? The grassland is a place that talks about strength, not some vain rules.
But in order to keep people like Zhao Quan at peace, An Daye said gently: "This matter cannot be rushed. You can take care of it first and wait until the time is right."
