Chapter 279: The Jiazi Treaty
The winter of the fourth year of the Tianqi period, the grassland was surprisingly cold, and a large number of cattle and sheep were frozen to death in the simple sheds. The Mongolians on the grassland lived a good life this winter, because the previous trade allowed the Mongolians to obtain food and other supplies.&1t;/p>
But for Lin Danhan, this is definitely not a wonderful winter.&1t;/p>
He traveled through the frozen Yellow River with a group of defeated soldiers and defeated soldiers. He arrived in Qinghai after trekking in the wind and snow for nearly half a month.&1t;/p>
This winter, Lin Danhan could only escape to Qinghai. Although Mobei was conquered by Lin Danhan, his foundation was unstable. I am afraid that this time would pass by and he would face one after another. Only in Qinghai area, Lin Danhan still has a good foundation and can gain a foothold.&1t;/p>
After a lot of hardships, I finally arrived in Qinghai, where there were enough cattle and sheep to allow Lin Danhan and Tumote tribe to spend the winter. Lin Danhan suffered a great blow to the failure of this war.&1t;/p>
Lin Danhan was left with fear at this time of the powerful firearms and strict disciplined cavalry that the Ming army showed in the war. He could hardly imagine that the Ming army had actually trained such a powerful army. The Mongolians' advantages in cavalry were simply gone.&1t;/p>
Just less than a month after Lin Danhan arrived in Qinghai, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty came again.&1t;/p>
"If you don't see me, just pull ⊕5ding⊕5 points⊕5 small⊕5 and say, .→.o≦ and go out and kill." Lin Danhan's anger towards the Ming Dynasty can only be spread on the envoys of the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>
"Khan, no! You Dao is that the two armies are fighting but not killing the envoys. What's more, the envoys of the Ming Kingdom came this time, mainly to discuss peace with our Mongolian. If the envoys of the Ming Kingdom were killed, it would completely anger the Ming Kingdom." The Mongolian nobles were so scared that they hurriedly came to persuade him.&1t;/p>
The two countries are not so effective for the Mongolians in war. However, the Mongolians are defeated at this time. The situation in Mongolia is turbulent. At this time, the Ming envoys came to discuss peace with Mongolia. Of course, these are the Mongolian nobles who are willing to see it.&1t;/p>
Lin Danhan was also sarcastic and did not dare to do it after a moment of majesty. So he borrowed a donkey and brought the envoy of the Ming Kingdom into the big tent.&1t;/p>
It was not someone else who came in, but Lin Wence, a diplomat who was specially appointed by the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>
"Ming Dynasty diplomat Lin Wence, meet the Mongolian Khan." Lin Wence came in and bowed, then smiled and greeted Lin Danhan, "I haven't seen her for several months, why did the Khan lose weight a lot?"&1t;/p>
"Hmph!" Lin Danhan was secretly sarcastic and snorted coldly with a hot face. He asked in an unhappy tone and arrogant manner: "Do you, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, want to negotiate peace?"&1t;/p>
Let’s discuss peace! Whoever tells it first will be lowered.&1t;/p>
"It's not that my Ming Dynasty must discuss peace with Mongolia, but that my Ming Dynasty's Holy Emperor is kind and does not want to fight again. It's just that if Mongolia wins the conditions for the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty doesn't mind rebuilding with Mongolia and rebuilding a country of brotherly friendship." As he said that, Lin Wence took out the document with the terms and handed it over to Lin Danhan.&1t;/p>
Lin Danhan took the document in confusion, and then opened it and read it. There were two words on it. After reading the above treaty, Lin Danhan's face turned ashen and his body trembled involuntarily.&1t;/p>
"Impossible, you are delusional." Lin Danhan roared on the spot and threw the documents directly on the ground. The Mongolian nobles next to him quickly picked up the documents and then began to pass them on.&1t;/p>
I saw the following treaty written on the document:&1t;/p>
1: Because it is against morality to take the initiative to tear up the alliance, Mongolia will withdraw from the northeast region from the day of the truce, that is, east of Yinshan, and other places, and at the same time return Hetao to the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>
2: Mongolia compensates Ming Dynasty military expenditure for 5 million yuan.&1t;/p>
3: Mongolia pays tribute to the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>
4: Allow Mongolian nobles of all tribes to go to the Ming Dynasty to settle freely.&1t;/p>
Basically, it was just these treaties, but Lin Danhan was very excited after reading it, while the Mongolian nobles had different expressions, but most of them were silent.&1t;/p>
"If the Khan does not accept it, then the little envoy has no choice. I just hope that Khan, you are asking for blessings and see if you can resist the Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty. Besides, even if the Khan does not continue to attack the Khan, there will be some Mongolian tribes willing to surrender to the Khan. My Khan only needs to give them tens of thousands of excellent equipment to allow them to sweep the grassland." Lin Wence threatened Lin Danhan directly with a sonorous and powerful voice.&1t;/p>
"Arrogant..."&1t;/p>
"Rich..."&1t;/p>
Suddenly, some Mongolian nobles couldn't help but squirted at Lin Wence on the spot. But Lin Danhan sat there with a gray face, gritting his teeth and unable to say a word.&1t;/p>
At this moment, Lin Danhan was really scared.&1t;/p>
If he had a big defeat, he was not afraid, because he had a good control over the various Mongolian tribes, but now after a big defeat, his prestige plummeted on the grassland.&1t;/p>
If the Ming Kingdom really showed support for some tribes, then there must be some Mongolian tribes willing to surrender to the Ming Kingdom. The Ming Kingdom only needs to block trade against Talin Dankhan and give tens of thousands of sets of excellent equipment to the Mongolian tribes they surrendered to, so that they can sweep across the grassland and build a Mongolian regime that completely surrendered to the Ming Kingdom.&1t;/p>
This is simply to completely destroy his rule over the grassland!&1t;/p>
At this time, the situation is better than others. Lin Danhan feels that he can't hold on anymore, and he really can't hold on anymore. If he holds on, he will probably be driven into exile.&1t;/p>
Lin Danhan kept struggling in his mind. Mingguo's meaning was very obvious, that was, he did not want to continue fighting. But he was definitely not afraid of continuing to fight with Mongolia, but he didn't want to continue to use force. It was absolutely easy for Mingguo to destroy Talin Danhan's rule over Mongolia.&1t;/p>
First, the Ming Dynasty can dispatch an elite cavalry that Mongolia cannot resist. If this cavalry swept the grassland for a long time, it would be terrible.&1t;/p>
Because cavalry can use war to raise war on the grassland, there is no need to worry about food at all. As long as you can grab cattle and sheep, you can continue to fight.&1t;/p>
Once the Ming Dynasty continued to sweep Mongolia, the Mongolian tribes within Lin Dankhan's rule would not be able to graz and produce peacefully. Although the Mongolians could hide and seek with these cavalry, cattle and sheep could not escape these cavalry. Without cattle and sheep, how could the Mongolians survive on the grassland?&1t;/p>
What's more serious is that the Ming Dynasty could support a Mongolian puppet regime at any time to replace Talin Dankhan's status.&1t;/p>
Since ascending to the position of the Mongolian Khan, Lin Danhan has never felt so frustrated. He really wanted to resist. He even wanted to cut off the Ming envoy in front of him who dared to threaten him with one knife.&1t;/p>
But... does he dare?&1t;/p>
"The compensation is too... too much." After holding it in for a long time, Lin Danhan suddenly said something like this. The whole tent was silent on the spot, and all the Mongolian nobles looked at Lin Danhan with an incredible look.&1t;/p>
"This compensation is not much. My Ming Dynasty's military expenditure this time is more than five million." Lin Wence smiled. The Mongolian Khan in front of him was obviously about to bow his head.&1t;/p>
As long as the treaty is signed, Mongolia will enter a state of chronic death in the future. Then it continues to move towards the abyss of weakness and is eventually swallowed by the Ming Dynasty in one bite.&1t;/p>
So why didn't Lin Danhan know, but as a ruler, he was thinking about something in his mind. When the situation was stronger than people, he could barely maintain one day of rule.&1t;/p>
"We Mongolia can't afford so much money." Lin Danhan felt that he was not doing well when he bargained. Lin Wence smiled and said, "It's okay, our Ming Dynasty did not want Mongolia to take out the compensation in one lump sum. We can pay the compensation in installments and pay off the compensation in 20 years. We only need to repay the principal of 250,000 yuan a year. Of course, the interest is calculated separately."&1t;/p>
"Of course, if the Khan feels that the conditions are too harsh, we can talk slowly later. Anyway, our Holy Emperor said. We are not in a hurry." Lin Wence said with a smile: "But if the treaty has not been signed after the beginning of spring, we will not talk."&1t;/p>
Lin Danhan heard the threat and immediately clenched his teeth again.&1t;/p>
So hateful!&1t;/p>
"What do you think Da Khan?" Lin Wence asked.&1t;/p>
"Talk, then let's talk!" Lin Danhan replied viciously, the situation is stronger than others! Lin Danhan, who was defeated, has no trump card to play.&1t;/p>
Since we were going to talk, it was not reasonable to let someone stand. Helplessly, Lin Danhan added a seat to Lin Wence, and asked someone to bring wine and meat, and first welcomed the Ming Dynasty mission.&1t;/p>
The next day, the negotiations started.&1t;/p>
There is actually nothing to negotiate about in negotiations, because negotiations are basically one-sided.&1t;/p>
In terms of re-dividing the territory, the Mongolians had no conditions for negotiation. Because the places that the Ming Dynasty wanted were not occupied, except for the Hetao that had not been occupied, other areas had basically been swept away by the Ming Dynasty. Even in Hetao, they would be swept away by the Ming army after the beginning of spring. These territory would definitely not be able to be protected if they wanted to protect them.&1t;/p>
The Ming Dynasty did not have a lion's mouth, and if the area north of Yinshan was occupied, there would be no lion's mouth.&1t;/p>
There is nothing to talk about in terms of the amount of compensation. Lin Danhan heard that the compensation of five million can be paid in 20 years, so he immediately accepted it.&1t;/p>
But when the interest is calculated next, Lin Danhan's face turned dark.&1t;/p>
The 5% interest rate per year will be nearly ten million in twenty years. This is still the case of paying back every year. If you accumulate it and then pay it back after twenty years, the profit will be reduced to 1.32 million.&1t;/p>
It's simply crazy.&1t;/p>
The Ming delegation insisted on this interest rate and did not let go at all.&1t;/p>
"Okay, let's decide according to this interest rate!" Lin Danhan ordered the Mongolian minister in charge of the negotiations, thinking viciously, and when the re-control of the Mongolian tribes stabilized, I will not pay back the money at that time, it will depend on my mood!&1t;/p>
Relax?&1t;/p>
Of course I'm not willing to give up!&1t;/p>
Although I haven't thought of any effective method yet, how could Lin Danhan be willing to do it? I can think about it slowly and stabilize the situation first.&1t;/p>
As the saying goes, two parties will take the least, this negotiation is completely accusing Lin Danhan of his mentality.&1t;/p>
But the negotiations were deadlocked later, because Lin Danhan was unwilling to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty and unwilling to put Mongolian nobles in the pass.&1t;/p>
Once you pay tribute, it will cause great damage to his prestige. If you put those Mongolian nobles in the world of Ming Dynasty, you will be attracted by the Ming Dynasty in just a few seconds?&1t;/p>
At that time, Mingguo wants to kick him away, he just needs to have fun with these Mongolian nobles.&1t;/p>
On this issue, Lin Danhan is not stupid. He clearly saw that the Ming Dynasty had sinister intentions and bad motivations.&1t;/p>
Lin Danhan argued with the Ming envoy on these two conditions. After the negotiations lasted for nearly several days, Lin Wence saw that he could not achieve his goal, so he stopped sticking to these two treaties.&1t;/p>
For the Ming Dynasty, a stable Mongolia situation is also needed for the time being, so that the Ming Dynasty has enough time to digest the newly occupied territories.&1t;/p>
After all, the territory I grabbed this time is too big and I can't digest it in less than three to five years.&1t;/p>
If we use the method of supporting a large Mongolian tribe to replace Lin Dankhan to attack the Tumot tribe, then we can indeed achieve the purpose of occupying the territory and not being harassed by the Mongols, but it may also create some uncontrollable factors. For example, the Mongolians have too much excellent equipment. After destroying Lin Dankhan, it is likely to create new threats.&1t;/p>
Instead of doing this, it is better to let Lin Danhan continue to rule Mongolia.&1t;/p>
If we can negotiate with Lin Danhan, we will basically not need to use more Mongolia to fight military force within a few years, and we will save a considerable amount of military spending and focus on internal reforms.&1t;/p>
As for whether Lin Danhan is honest, it doesn't matter. If Lin Danhan wants to recover, it will take at least three to five years. At that time, the Ming Dynasty will digest the territory and there will be a new need for expansion. At that time, it will be just enough to take surgery on Lin Danhan.&1t;/p>
With different thoughts on both sides, a consensus on a truce and peace agreement was reached on the surface.&1t;/p>
Lin Danhan immediately ordered his confidant to sign the terms, and Lin Wence also signed the treaty. The treaty was declared effective, and the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia officially terminated the state of war and returned to a state of friendship.&1t;/p>
As for the remnants of Jiannu who led this war, they had disappeared without a trace at this time. Lin Danhan heard that Huang Taiji and his people kept going west.&1t;/p>
After signing the treaty, Lin Danhan remembered the feelings of those Jiannu, and could only describe it as "Sunny Dog". It was really a Japanese Dog. He originally wanted to unite these Jiannu to fight against the Ming Dynasty, but he fell into a big fuss, but the initiator ran away.&1t;/p>
Lin Danhan, who was so angry that he could only expose his anger on those women and servants. He would beat him up a little dislike. For a moment, the people around Lin Danhan were silent.&1t;/p>
The treaty signed in the winter of the fourth year of the Apocalypse immediately aroused a warm response after being passed back to the Ming Dynasty. Under the publicity of the Daming Daily, the result of this war against Mongolia was promoted as the greatest victory against Mongolia in history.&1t;/p>
Because the Mongolians were successfully compensated 50,000 yuan, Lin Wence also brought back the first compensation, although it was only 30,000 yuan.&1t;/p>
However, after the war, he snatched the chassis and obtained compensation from the nomads through diplomatic negotiations. This is indeed rare in Chinese history.&1t;/p>
The fourth year of the Apocalypse is the year of Jiazi, so this treaty is also called the "Treaty of Jiazi".&1t;/p>
The signing of the Treaty of Jiazi obviously allowed the Ming Dynasty to open a "Pandora's Box" to exploit unequal treaties to exploit other nations.&1t;/p>
Such a method of pressing can be seen everywhere in the later external expansion. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>
