The conditions proposed by Yang Cong were really too harsh. This guy not only wanted war horses, but also wanted to die. He was 50,000 horses in the first year, and then 10,000 horses a year, and for a hundred consecutive years!

Damn it!

Is there anyone who negotiated like this?

Zhao Quan felt that this peace talk was probably impossible. War horses are the lifeblood of the grassland tribe. Can Altan Khan agree to compensate so many war horses?

If this peace talks cannot be reached, Dahan is afraid that he will get angry, what should he do?

He returned to the khan court with trembling fear, and came to the khan tent as if he was going to the execution ground. As soon as he reported the situation truthfully, he bowed and stood there, just waiting for the sweat to vent his anger.

Unexpectedly, Altan Khan was not furious. On the contrary, after he finished telling the situation, Altan Khan had no reaction at all, and the entire tent fell into silence, and there was no sound at all.

He secretly looked up and saw that Altan Khan was frowning and pondering!

Can you also consider compensation for war horses?

Altan Khan was indeed considering the issue of compensation for the war horses, and he had no choice. If he did not agree with other people's conditions, he would continue to send troops to rob. At that time, he would really respond to what he said. The snatched away is not considered money, and it would be useless to rob it if it was snatched away!

Besides, the grassland in the central part of the Western Tak is not enough to support so many war horses. He is still having a headache about this. If all the forage grass is eaten for the war horses, there will be no forage grass to eat. By then, the herdsmen of various tribes will starve to death. What's the use of leaving so many war horses?

Perhaps, it is also a good choice to compensate the war horses to the Ming Dynasty. At least, the saved grass can feed more cattle and sheep, so that the herdsmen of various tribes will not starve to death.

Of course, it was impossible for him to compensate Da Ming for all the war horses in his hand. At least, he had to leave hope of resurrection.

Moreover, even if he compensated most of the war horses, the herdsmen of various tribes could only barely starve to death. There was no need to think about how to reproduce and live. It would be good that the Tatar tribe could not be trampled by other tribes.

What he wanted was not this result, he wanted to make a comeback.

How can we keep the hope of making a comeback?

He pondered for a while and suddenly asked, "Have you mentioned the matter of Ben Khan asking the Ming Dynasty to be the king? Also, have you discussed with others about opening the Horse Market?"

this!

Zhao Quan said with a panic look on his face: "Shan, before my subordinates could mention these things, Lord Yang talked about compensation for the war horses. His subordinates thought that the compensation for the war horses could not be reached and nothing else could be discussed, so he ran back and asked for instructions."

You are useless, and you have not mentioned any conditions. Just asking others to raise the conditions. Is this called peace talks?

Altan Khan frowned when he heard this, but he still didn't get angry because there were very few people under his command who could send to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty. Although Zhao Quan was useless, he knew the importance of it at least, and it was okay to send it as a melody.

He frowned and pondered for a while, then said lightly: "You go and tell me that it is not impossible to compensate the war horses, but it is impossible to 50,000 horses at a time. He must leave us some seeds. In addition, my Khan requires the title of king and the horse market must be opened. These are all essential conditions. You can talk to them too."

this!

Now you are forced to the point of nowhere, okay? You want to be the king, and you want others to open a horse market?

Zhao Quan didn't forget these conditions, he was shameless to mention them!

As the defeated party, if you still ask these conditions, is your brain sick or what's wrong?

Of course, he didn't dare to say these words in front of Altan Khan. He could only bite the bullet and said, "I understand. These subordinates must have a good talk with Lord Yang."

So he ran to Songshan Fort again and came to see Yang Cong.

Yang Cong didn't talk to him, and said straight to the point: "How is it, what do you Khan say? Does he agree with the matter of compensation for the war horse?"

Zhao Quan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "This, we Khan said, it is not impossible to discuss compensation for war horses, but it is a bit too much to compensate 50,000 at a time. We only had more than 50,000 war horses, but this time we all paid for them, and there were no more than 10,000 horses to make the seeds. Later, 10,000 horses could not be cultivated every year. What we Khan meant is that we should compensate 20,000 horses first, and the remaining 30,000 horses to make the seeds. Sir, do you think it's okay?"

Altan Khan is really able to bend and stretch. He can even agree to compensate the war horse. He is really a hero who can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens.

But what's the use of being able to endure humiliation?

Altan Khan was afraid that he had thought it was wrong. He thought the Tatar tribe still had hope?

Just kidding, in front of muskets and artillery, cavalry is cannon fodder. As long as the Ming Dynasty can maintain its advantage in thermal weapons, it will be fake even if there are many cavalry he has.

Yang Cong thought about it, and then said seriously: "Twenty thousand horses are too few, at least 30,000 horses. Isn't it enough to leave 20,000 horses for seeds?"

Damn, whether you have 20,000 or 30,000, it's all my business.

Zhao Quan also understood now that he was just a melody and could not do anything. Hurry up and finish what he should say. As for the others, let others have a headache.

He simply said with a tough head, "This, the grass people will go to tell our Khan. Our Khan also said that he wanted to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and asked the Ming Dynasty to follow the convention and give him a title of royal title. In addition, our Khan also wanted to open a horse market with the Ming Dynasty to communicate with each other, I wonder if it is possible?"

Hehe, there are quite a lot of conditions.

It doesn't matter if you are a king or something. Anyway, it is not uncommon for the Ming Dynasty to be crowned kings by the leaders of these grassland tribes. Not to mention grassland overlords like Altan Khan, even if you are a grassland tribe leader with only a few thousand men, as long as you are willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty, you will be a king or something.

In this case, the title of king is not a real prince. The Ming Dynasty just gave someone a false title.

Salary or something, sorry, no.

Power or something, sorry, that's not even more.

When officials from the Ming Dynasty saw him, they could call him Prince, which would be enough to give him face.

In short, there is no problem with this king. As for the opening of the Ma Market, Yang Cong himself has no objection. He even tends to open the Ma Market.

However, he could not control the ideas of the court officials. He didn't want to control the ideas of the emperor Zhu Zai-ji. He had to go to the question of opening the horse market. He could not make a decision at this moment.

He thought carefully for a while before he slowly said: "It is a customary practice to be crowned with a king. I think this is not a big problem, but opening the horse market is a very troublesome thing. You should know that you have not done any good things in the past few times of opening the horse market. The court officials have complained about this. Otherwise, you can't make the decision to compensate the horse anyway. I also have to ask the court for the title of the king and the opening the horse market. Let's talk about it first this time. Go back first, and wait for the news from me. After I ask the court for instructions, I will naturally send someone to notify you."

What else could Zhao Quan say? He could only bow and retreat and go back to the Khan Court.
