Chapter 1187 promise
"Master, do you mean..." Zhao Huoluo asked carefully.
Ortai frowned and sighed: "It is probably difficult to delay the Ming Dynasty so forcing it, and the next few months are the most suitable season for war. Originally, the hero thought that this matter could be delayed until the end of the year, and it would not be too late to discuss it after the spring of the next year, but now it seems that it is not possible."
"So Dashuang, are you planning to agree to the conditions of the Ming Dynasty?" Zhao Huoluo's heart moved and asked quickly.
In Zhao Huoluo's heart, he really hoped that Ortai could be the King of Shunyi. Once he accepted the conditions of the Ming Dynasty, Ortai would be a Ming minister, and the Ming Dynasty also agreed to let Ortai continue to command Mongolia. This condition was actually very good in Zhao Huoluo's opinion.
What's more, although Zhao Huoluo is already a member of the Jinyiwei, he is related to Ortai after all, and does not want Ortai to end up in a miserable end. However, he is a low-ranking position and Ortai is a man who is strong in his work. Zhao Huoluo can't persuade him on weekdays, so he is secretly anxious.
Now Ortai can agree to the conditions of the Ming Dynasty, which is the best, so Zhao Huluo doesn't have to worry about it.
Ortai smiled bitterly: "So what if you don't agree? Will the Ming Dynasty continue to turn a blind eye?"
Hearing this, Zhao Huluo felt a surge of excitement and his expression relaxed.
"You go to the Ming Dynasty for me." Ortai suddenly said: "Tell the Ming Dynasty that I can accept the title of King Shunyi and surrender to the Ming Dynasty. However, I also have the conditions. I will write something later. If the Ming Dynasty agrees, this matter will be done."
Zhao Huoluo was about to ask what the conditions were, but the words stopped. He knew that it was not appropriate to ask, and once he asked, Ortai would be suspicious. So Zhao Huoluo just nodded simply and said yes. His attitude made Ortai very satisfied, and immediately asked him to prepare first and set off for the Ming Dynasty in two days.
Two days later, Zhao Huoluo left Mongolia with Ortai's letters and headed towards the Ming Dynasty in the south. While Zhao Huoluo left, Ortai met Berekov again. This time, the meeting lasted for two hours. It was not until dark that Berekov left.
Capital.
Zhao Huoluo arrived in the capital again, but compared to the last time he came here, Zhao Huoluo was not like a headless fly, so he directly found the Jinyiwei Yamen to see Zhang Ran.
After staying in the Jinyiwei Yamen for some time, Zhao Huoluo left, but he handed the letter from Ortai directly to Zhang Ran, and at the same time reported to Zhang Ran some of the situation in Mongolia.
When Zhao Huluo left, Zhang Ran opened the letter and read it carefully. Although the letter was written to the Ming Dynasty, it should be submitted to the Military Affairs Office and then handed over to the Emperor Zhu Yicheng by the Military Affairs Office. However, since the Mongolian affairs were relatively complicated, Zhu Yicheng had already given Zhang Ran the right to deal with Mongolian intelligence, so Zhang Ran naturally had the right to read this letter.
After reading the contents of the letter, Zhang Ran frowned and could no longer sit still. He immediately stood up and put the letter in his arms, rushed out of the Jinyiwei Yamen, heading towards the palace.
Half an hour later, Zhang Ran came to the side hall where Zhu Yicheng worked in the palace. It was already late at this time. It was logical that Zhu Yicheng also had to eat dinner, but because things were important, Zhang Ran's request for a visit was still approved by Zhu Yicheng.
"I have seen the emperor..." As soon as I entered the side hall, Zhang Ran quickly walked towards Zhu Yicheng and came closer to pay a visit to the grand ceremony.
"What's so urgent in Mongolia?" Zhu Yicheng asked bluntly.
"Mongolia sent Ortai's letters. When I saw this, I dared not be good at it, so I asked the emperor to decide." Zhang Ran said, taking out the letter from his arms to carry on.
Zhu Yicheng took the letter and opened it. Ortai's letter had a lot of words, and he wrote three pieces of paper. Not to mention his writing style, although Ortai was a first-class guard, he was also a minister of study. He could be said to be a versatile figure in the Qing Dynasty.
After a few glances, Zhu Yicheng's expression was a little strange, but he didn't say anything and continued reading. After a while, he finished reading all the letter and then placed it on the table.
"It seems that Dongmei's actions are still effective." Zhu Yicheng said with a sneer.
Zhang Ran responded below: "General Yue did a good job, otherwise Ortai would not have done this attitude, but in this letter..."
"That's just his whimsical thoughts." Zhu Yicheng said bluntly, and a sharp flashed in his eyes.
In the letter, although Ortai agreed to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and accepted the title of King Shunyi, he was not without conditions, and he also put forward a series of conditions for the Ming Dynasty.
The most important of these conditions are three points. First, Mongolia maintains the status quo. Mongolian officials are not appointed by the Ming Dynasty, but are decided by him, King Shunyi, and reported to the Ming Dynasty. Second, Mongolia's military continues to be in the hands of Ortai, but belongs to the Ming army nominally, but is not actually different from before. Third, Mongolia grazing for a living, hoping to continue to maintain tradition. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty gave Mongolia some food and equipment to a certain extent.
These three conditions seem ordinary, but once they agree, everything that the Ming Dynasty did is just nominal and no reality. Even if Ortai became a Ming minister on the surface, Mongolia is still not the Mongolia of the Ming Dynasty, but Ortai's Mongolia.
Not only that, Ortai also planned to take advantage of the opportunity to gain benefits from the Ming Dynasty to appease the Mongolian tribes. In addition, Ortai wrote a lot of reasons in his letter, but it was simply because the situation of the Mongolian tribes was complicated and he didn't want to do this. It was just a temporary solution. I hope the Ming Dynasty could understand his difficulties.
In Zhu Yicheng's opinion, these words were simply nonsense. Ortai clearly did not have much sincerity. He planned to continue to test the bottom line of the Ming Dynasty in this way, and at the same time use this method to ease the relationship with the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yicheng couldn't tell this trick? Not to mention him, even Zhang Ran could understand it at first glance, otherwise he wouldn't have entered the palace so anxiously.
"Emperor, Ortai still has fantasies. I think it's better to let General Yue attack Mongolia directly and give him some strength, otherwise he would never surrender sincerely." Zhang Ran took Zhu Yicheng's words and suggested.
Zhu Yicheng thought for a while and asked, "Who is the person who sent the letter?"
"Go back to the emperor, it's Zhao Huoluo last time."
"Oh, it's him, can he say that the current situation in Mongolia?" Zhu Yicheng asked.
Zhang Ran immediately recounted the content of his conversation with Zhao Huoluo to Zhu Yicheng. Zhu Yicheng listened quietly. After listening, he pondered for a long time and looked at the letter again.
"Ortai has a good plan, but I can't let him go." Zhu Yicheng said with a sneer. Just when Zhang Ran thought Zhu Yicheng would be furious and refused the request from Ortai's letter, Zhu Yicheng said again: "Since that's the case, I will agree to him, Xiao Jiangzi!"
"Nu Bi is..."
