The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 569

Here in Beiyuan, although Zhu Di is a prisoner, he also enjoys the treatment of a prince.

Even Zhu Neng, who was caught before, was released directly.

This is what makes Zhu Di more happy.

Here in the Beiyuan tent, after Zhu Di arrived, Erebek Khan, or the emperor of Beiyuan, did not summon him immediately.

Maybe it's discussing things behind.

Apart from Zhu Neng and Zhang Yu, Zhu Di was accompanied by five personal guards, and there were strict soldiers guarding outside the tent, but nothing else.

It probably means house arrest.

"My lord, I feel that things are not that simple. We were suddenly discovered, and someone must be playing tricks in the dark."

"In such a large grassland, they may be so lucky. Our scouts didn't even get any news. If the prince wasn't alert, they might not know if they were surrounded."

"Those scouts, they"

Zhu Neng was very happy to see King Yan again, and he never thought that he would survive and meet King Yan.

They were already determined to die.

And after being captured by the Mongolian cavalry, he was not treated badly like a slave. On the contrary, he was treated with good food and drink.

It was only during this time that Zhu Neng suddenly discovered something was wrong.

On this vast grassland, the armies mainly rely on scouting horses as eyes, and at least twenty miles away, they will conduct a patrol.

The actions of tens of thousands of troops can be clearly sensed even ten miles away, let alone professionally trained scouts.

And the other party will also send out scouts, usually at a distance of about twenty miles.

When encountering the other party's detective horse, of course one's own detective horse will report the news, instead of stupidly investigating the information by oneself.

Fifty miles, even in this flat grassland, if you get the news in advance, you can easily avoid it.

However, King Yan didn't get any news at all, and even the explorers who went out never came back.

Not just one or two people, but dozens of people.

If so, things don't seem to be that simple.

After meeting and exchanging greetings, Zhu Neng hurriedly told the prince what was in his heart.

But at the last sentence, Zhu Di raised his hand to interrupt.

"My king knows what you said, but it doesn't make any sense to guess."

"Besides, this is the result now, why go after these things, it's better to think about how to go back."

"Only when we go back, will we have a chance to know who is behind this."

After Zhu Di took a deep look at Zhu Neng, he spoke.

Zhang Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and he slightly shook his head at Zhu Neng, who still wanted to continue talking, signaling not to continue.

Only then did Zhu Neng reply with some frustration: "Understood, my lord."

In fact, why didn't Zhu Di think of these things.

On this prairie, he was arrested so suddenly, how could such a simple thing happen? Did all the cavalrymen of Ming Dynasty eat dry food?

If so, it would have collapsed long ago.

But Zhu Di knew this matter, and there was no way to expose it. Even in the future, he could only investigate secretly.

Maybe not even an investigation.

The specific situation depends on how it develops in the future.

The initiative of the matter is no longer in Zhu Di's hands.

In the big account of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

The civil and military ministers gathered together, and the most dazzling one was naturally the Minister of War, Haba.

For Bei Yuan, who has been suppressed and beaten by Daming, the feat of capturing Daming King Yan alive is undoubtedly a shot in the arm, and he has seen more hope.

It's just that in Haba's eyes, there is no such joy at all, because he is very clear in his heart that Da Ming's current strength in all aspects has completely crushed Bei Yuan.

Everyone was celebrating the capture of Daming King Yan alive, but they all ignored a problem, that is, the casualties caused by their own troops when Zhu Di was captured.

A full five thousand rides.

It doesn't sound like much. After all, Zhu Di had [-] riders at the time, and he only lost [-] riders, which is considered a big victory.

However, in fact, the cavalry duel is not calculated in this way.

The cavalry is different from the infantry. When charging, it is more like a huge torrent. Under absolute suppression, it is difficult for small-scale cavalry to effectively kill large-scale cavalry.

For example, when Mongolia once conquered other countries, the casualties were often extremely rare, and even tens of thousands of cavalry were dispatched, with less than a hundred casualties.

The terrifying light cavalry is a dimension-reducing blow to the enemy on the plain battlefield.

Obviously, others also have cavalry, but compared with the Mongolian cavalry, they are not at the same level.

What's more, [-] Mongolian cavalry went to fight Zhu Di's [-] cavalry.

With such a huge difference in numbers, Zhu Di's army may collapse in one round.

However, in the end, it was Haba who forcibly charged with cavalry instead of cavalry and shooting, which overwhelmed Zhu Di.

In this way, five thousand horses were lost.

In fact, there were nearly three thousand horses on the side of the captive Zhu Di.

This means that Haba's casualties are even higher.

No one cares about these things, this is King Yan of the Ming Dynasty, even if it costs an extra [-] horses, it is still worth it.

"Please look, Your Majesty, this is the latest firearm of the Ming Dynasty. I learned from some friends that this new firecracker, called the matchlock gun, was made by the grandson of the Ming Dynasty."

"The minister just tried to use it. Compared with the previous firecrackers, this matchlock gun is not only more accurate, but also more powerful."

"Simple leather armor can be easily shot through at a distance of thirty steps, and it can produce effective damage at fifty steps."

"Our bows and arrows are only thirty steps away."

In the Northern Yuan Dynasty, those who inherited the tradition of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and claimed to be ministers were naturally Han people.

And this minister of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was also of Han Chinese origin.

Naturally, it was for his own wealth, so he devoted himself to Beiyuan.

Han ministers like this were not in the minority in the Northern Yuan court, and there were more than half of them in this big tent alone.

The pure Mongols generally only call themselves slaves.

The Han minister's words made the whole big tent start to become noisy.

Those who can be here, except for a small number of fish in troubled waters, most of them still have some real talents. Naturally, they understand what this matchlock gun means to Bei Yuan.

Beiyuan also pays more attention to the development of firearms, but it is limited to the current grassland environment, and there is no space and ability for development at all.

When he knew that Daming's firearms were already so powerful, his heart began to become tense.

This means a very simple problem, when Da Ming's shooting range exceeds Bei Yuan's bow and arrow, then the degree of beating is very high.

Eleboke sat on the dragon chair, feeling very upset.

Recently, hundreds of thousands of troops have been stationed at the border gates of the Ming Dynasty, which has given Bei Yuan a great sense of oppression. There has been no result in the issue of detaining Zhu Di here.

Now, another matchlock gun popped out.

It's really a big brain.

"Don't drag the matter away, now we have to talk about the matter of King Yan of Ming Dynasty."

"As for the embargo, it is a condition that cannot be waived. Everyone knows the situation on our side now. The minions below are completely unable to survive."

"Eliminate the embargo as early as possible so that we will have a chance later."

Eleboke waved his hand, not wanting to deal with the matchlock gun.

He is very clear in his heart that the current firearms of Daming will not destroy Beiyuan, even if it is a strong Daming, it is impossible to break into the depths of the grassland, which is of no benefit to Daming.

It can even cause a great burden.

As for Daming's current plundering of population, Eleboke didn't care at all. Anyway, those tribes were not very obedient, and they took them away as soon as they were taken away.

In the current Northern Yuan Dynasty, in terms of economy and rations, because of the embargo, the combat effectiveness of today's cavalry has declined on a large scale.

As long as the embargo is lifted, even if Da Ming calls, it's all a matter of retreating a little bit. Could it be that they can still occupy the grassland forever?

With the current strength of Beiyuan, it is completely possible to migrate and avoid today's Daming.

In terms of the current overall strength of Wala, it is much weaker than the current Beiyuan.

If you can't beat Daming, can you still can't beat Wala.

As long as there is enough food, Elebok is the master of this grassland.

As for Daming.

The Central Plains Dynasty will eventually be weak.

At that time, it will be much simpler.

Hasn't it been like this since ancient times?

After Eleboke finished speaking, a man dressed as a prince below stood up.

It is Elebok's younger brother, Harguchu Kehongtaiji.

Hartaiji said: "Your Majesty, I think matchlock guns are a very important thing. If we can master the manufacture of matchlock guns, even if we don't attack Ming Dynasty, we can win the war against Oala and other tribes more easily."

"Da Ming King Yan is the fourth son of the Daming Emperor. I have heard that the Daming Emperor loves the Yan King the most. When the Daming Grandson did not show up, he once proposed to make the Daming King Yan the heir apparent."

"Such people, if we ask to give us the method of making the matchlock gun, they will certainly agree."

Hartaiji made Elebek frown slightly.

In fact, he didn't like this younger brother very much, he was too strong.

Being able to become the current emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty at the beginning was also slightly ahead of Hartaiji.

And in the hands of Hartaiji, he controlled nearly [-] cavalry from Beiyuan, which also made Elebak somewhat scrupulous.

After Hartaiji spoke out, Haohai Dayu stood up.

Haohai Dayu is from Wala, and is now the Taiwei of Beiyuan.

Of course, his target is Prime Minister Bei Yuan.

Daming abolished the prime minister system, but Beiyuan naturally did not, but on the road leading to the prime minister, Hartaiji has always been a blocker.

Hartaiji advocated following the example of Ming Dynasty and completely abolishing the prime minister system. Although this goal has not been achieved, the position of prime minister in the Northern Yuan Dynasty has always been vacant.

"I don't think so." Haohai Dayu said.

Eleboke nodded, he was still very relieved about his favorite minister, and motioned to continue.

After Haohai Dayu took a few steps in the middle, he glanced at Haertaiji, and then continued: "The matchlock gun is the key that Daming attaches great importance to now. It must be very difficult during the negotiation."

"Even if the negotiations are really successful, we will definitely make great concessions in other areas."

"But even if there is a matchlock gun now, can it be manufactured quickly? In the current Beiyuan, I think the ration is more important, which is Daming's salt tea."

"It is necessary to resume trade with Daming, or even open more exchanges, so that we can continue to dominate the grassland."

"The matchlock gun is powerful, but he is not invincible. In such a huge Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for every soldier to be equipped with a matchlock gun."

"The grassland is our grassland. As long as there is enough mutual market, Ming Dynasty will not be able to defeat us. When the time is right, we will naturally be able to move into the Central Plains again."

Haohai Dayu was recognized by Eleboke.

Solving the immediate troubles is the most important thing for Bei Yuan.

Hartaiji wanted to stand up and object, but was held back by the Han ministers behind him.

Seeing this scene in Eleboke's eyes, he suddenly felt more dissatisfied.

Today's Han people, Elebek doesn't believe much, but his younger brother Hartaiji always mixes with those Han ministers.

He was even extremely humble to those Han people, and completely lost the temperament of being a Mongolian, which made Elebek very uncomfortable.

Han people are mean.

If it weren't for the fact that the current Beiyuan had to rely on the Han people for advice, Elebek really wanted to execute all the Han ministers who had taken refuge with his younger brother.

After finalizing the negotiation proposition, it is the candidates involved in the negotiation.

This matter made many ministers stop talking.

Obviously, such things as negotiations, generally no one wants to go.

Especially now Bei Yuan and Daming are like the weak against the strong.

Apart from having the card of Daming King Yan, the current Bei Yuan has nothing in other aspects.

It's okay to talk well, but if you don't talk well and get slaughtered by Daming directly, then the loss outweighs the gain.

Although it is said that the two armies are fighting without killing each other, who can say for sure.

Today's Daming is full of anger.

At this time, Haohai Dayu suddenly walked up to Eleboke and whispered something in his whisper.

Eleboke nodded slightly, and said, "I think what the Taiwei means is fine."

"Negotiating with the Han people is naturally the most familiar with the Han people."

"However, in order to show our sincerity, my brother, you should go there yourself this time."

After speaking, Elebek also named several Han ministers.

These Han ministers are obviously Hartaiji's confidantes.

If the negotiations fail, the blame can obviously be pushed on them.

Hartaiji stared deeply at Eleboke for a while, and finally gave Haohai Dayu a fierce look, before replying: "I take orders."
