Seven hundred and fifty-two the Ming Dynasty is far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties
Wei Ke first knew more about the Tatar tribe.
Because his main responsibility is to prevent the Tatar tribe. After leading troops to the Linhuang Mansion, he kept sending people to inquire about the Tatar tribe, and occasionally sent people to inquire about the news, thinking about preventing problems before they happen.
Around Linhuang Mansion, he also chose to arrange defenses on the terrain, set up many outposts, military camps, beacon towers, etc., and built a very proper early warning system.
Then, whenever I have time, I trained troops, mainly to deter the Tatar tribe, which had unclear relations with the Jin Kingdom.
After destroying the Jin Dynasty, Wei Kexian and other senior leaders of the Ming army learned about their subordinate relations with the Tatar tribe from the old officials of the Jin Dynasty.
The Tatar tribe once surrendered to the Liao Kingdom, and later surrendered to the Jin Kingdom, and backed to the Jin Kingdom to fight against the powerful Kelie tribe and Qiyan tribe, and once made great contributions to the Jin Kingdom.
For example, the Tatar people once planned to capture a Khan from the Krei tribe named Anbahaikhan and gave him to the Jin people. In order to punish the Krei tribe who was enemies, Jin Xizong nailed him to a wooden donkey.
Later, the Tatar people used their same tricks again and killed another important senior member, Oqinbaer Heihe, and then formed a deadly enemy with the Krei tribe, and there was no possibility of reconciliation between them.
Therefore, the Tatar people still have a relatively large demand for the Jin Kingdom, not only economic demand, but also military demand.
Similarly, since its establishment, the Jin Kingdom has been constantly facing threats from the Mongols on the grassland.
Wanyan, who made great contributions to the battlefield of attacking the Northern Song Dynasty, also led many troops to attack the grassland, but did not achieve any major results.
After all, the Jurchens were not nomadic peoples, and they quickly became Chinese after entering the Central Plains. The main types of troops were infantry, not cavalry.
They even wanted to use the divine arm archers to attack the grassland cavalry, but the final result was of course not good.
After a while, the Jin people also learned to use their internal conflicts to restrain the grassland cavalry from going south, and use the blood hatred between the Tatar tribe and the tribes such as Kelie, Qiyan to provoke them to fight, making their hatred deeper and making them unable to grow.
This is indeed quite effective.
Of course, the Tatars were not completely surrendered to the Jin Kingdom. If the Jin Kingdom made a mistake in policy and their interests were damaged, they could also unite with other grassland tribes to resist the tyranny of the Jin Kingdom.
But overall, the relationship between the Tatar people and the Jin Kingdom is more cooperative than confrontation.
However, two years ago, the Ming Dynasty rose rapidly and defeated the main force of the Jin army in a short period of time. The Jin Dynasty suddenly perished, which was a considerable impact on the Tatar people.
The Tatar people soon learned about the end of the Jin Dynasty, and also knew that the Ming army later attacked the remnants of the Jin Dynasty in Liaodong, because at that time Wanyan Yong sent people to send troops to help, but was rejected by the Tatar people.
They will not be loyal ministers and generals for the soon-to-be-destroy Jin Kingdom.
But then again, they didn't know what the new Ming Dynasty was about to them, and they were also worried that they would fall at a disadvantage in dealing with the problems of Qiyan tribe and Kelie tribe after losing the support of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, this mission was very meaningful to them.
Wei Kexian sent someone to Zhongzhong to tell Su Yonglin about this.
Soon, Su Yonglin learned about this and the demands of the Tatar people. After looking at the grassland map left by the Jin Kingdom, and after thinking for a while, Su Yonglin decided to ask Wei Kexian to send someone to escort the Tatar people's envoys to see him.
On the third day of September of the second year of Hongwu, under the escort of one thousand people from the Liaodong Corps, the Tatar people's envoys officially arrived in Zhongdu.
They were greeted by two officials, one civil and one military officers.
The writer was a former official of the Honglu Temple of the Jin Dynasty who was responsible for diplomatic work in the Ming Dynasty. He is currently the Minister of the Honglu Temple of the Ming Dynasty.
The martial arts were Li Xiao, the second commander of the Yanyun Corps, and a thousand elite troops led by him.
They welcomed the Tatar people's envoys ten miles northeast of Zhongdu City. They were magnificent, bright armor, clear flags, uniformity, and extremely strict military appearance.
Looking at such a strict military appearance and looking at the fierce Liaodong cavalry beside him, the leader of the Tatar People's Envoy Regiment, Jerimu swallowed his saliva, and felt that the Ming Dynasty gave people a sense of oppression compared to the previous Jin Dynasty.
This is a warning.
After seeing the army, he immediately saw Chen Guangyuan, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, who was smiling and Li Xiao, who had a dark face, owed him a hundred taels of gold but was not paid back.
"Chen Guangyuan, the Minister of the Honglu Temple of the Ming Dynasty, met the noble envoy."
Chen Guangyuan is white and fat, with a very nice smile, making people feel disgusted when they see him.
"Commander of Yanyun Corps, Li Xiao."
Li Xiao is tall, bearded and has a tough look. He smiles more terrifyingly than not.
Zhelim then gritted his teeth and bowed to Li Xiao, then directly faced Chen Guangyuan.
Chen Guangyuan smiled and took Zhelim into the car, chatting with Zhelim along the way, talking about their friendship with the Central Plains dynasty back then, and talking about the exchanges that were interrupted due to some minor changes in the Central Plains regime two years ago, and then began to look forward to the future...
"Wait a minute, what Mr. Chen means is that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty is willing to continue his previous relationship with us Tataer?"
When Zhelim heard Chen Guangyuan's silence, she felt like she was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, she heard Chen Guangyuan start to look forward to the future and suddenly became interested.
"Of course I'm willing, why not?"
Chen Guangyuan nodded with a smile and said, "If it weren't for this, how could His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty let you come to Zhongdu? His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty knew about the cooperation between your Tatar tribe and the Jin Kingdom before, and felt that you did a good job and praised you."
Zhelimu was confused.
"Didn't His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty think that the Tatar people had a bad relationship with the Jin people before?"
"The Emperor of Ming Dynasty would not be so narrow-minded in his view of problems."
Chen Guangyuan shook his head and smiled and said, "The Emperor of Ming Dynasty believes that the Jin Kingdom has passed and no longer exists. It is meaningless to talk about the Jin Kingdom. It is stupid to limit the relationship between the two sides to the framework of the Jin people.
So what we are going to talk about next is the future of the Ming Dynasty and the Tatar people. Since the Qiyan tribe and the Kelie tribe will harass the border of the Jin Kingdom, it is hard to say whether they will also harass the border of the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty would not show mercy to anyone who interfered in the border attack. Since the Tatar tribe helped the Jin Dynasty fight against the Kelie tribe and the Qiyan tribe, it would definitely help the Ming Dynasty fight against the Kelie tribe and the Qiyan tribe. Do the envoy think that the Ming Emperor was right?”
Looking at Chen Guangyuan's warm smile, Zhelimu nodded immediately.
"Yes! Yes! Of course, right! How could it be wrong? It's simply right! This is why I came to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty on the order of the leader! We really hope to explain this issue to His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty!"
Chen Guangyuan laughed and waved his hand.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty also hopes to explain this issue to you clearly, so that's even better. Let's go to Zhong to pay homage to Your Majesty, and then open it up to discuss all the issues clearly."
"Okay! Talk clearly!"
Jerim was very happy.
Not long after, they arrived at Zhongdu City. Looking at the magnificent and tall Zhongdu City, Zhelim was a little surprised.
"In the past, I came to Zhongdu to visit the Jin emperor at that time. At that time, Zhongdu City seemed not that tall..."
"That's of course, because after His Majesty the Ming Emperor ascended the throne, he expanded Zhongdu, which was just the beginning. His Majesty the Ming Emperor planned to eventually expand Zhongdu to three times the size of the original."
"three times?"
Jerim was very surprised: "It's so big now, how big is three times bigger?"
"The bigger it is, the bigger it is. The imperial capital is the capital, and it doesn't matter how large the imperial capital is."
Chen Guangyuan pointed to Zhongdu City and said, "The future Zhongdu will be taller and bigger, and will become the largest giant city in the world, far exceeding any giant city in the past. Just like the national power of the Ming Dynasty, far beyond the Han and Tang Dynasties!"
Zhelim looked at Chen Guangyuan and found a light shining in his eyes, a light called confidence.
He did not lie, he believed what he said.
