Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 182 The Alliance Under the City
After returning from outside the city, Liu Hongjian had just arrived at his house before his buttocks were warmed up, when Steward Niu came to report.

"My lord, that hairy Tartar has been seeing you several times!"

Steward Niu has always looked down on people from outside the Great Wall, but he also knows how important this person is to the master, so Liu Hongjian came to report as soon as he came back.

To say that the Chahar envoy Bo Luochi is really aggrieved. He has been in the capital for several days. Except for seeing Lord Hou that day, he has been imprisoned in a small hut in the backyard. A toilet is also followed by servants.

The situation in the tribe was changing, and the Great Khan and the Queen Mother were waiting for him to bring back good news to stabilize people's hearts.

As for this Daming Lord Hou, he neither agreed nor objected, and even ignored him directly, hanging him like this for several days.

Although the servants of the Hou Mansion greeted him with good wine and good food during the Chinese New Year the day before yesterday, but the Mongolians do not celebrate the New Year, and now he only hopes that this upstart of the Ming Dynasty can summon him to discuss the alliance as soon as possible.

"Ha, this old guy can't hold his breath anymore! Call him over!" If Butler Niu didn't say anything, Liu Hongjian would really have forgotten about him.

There's no way, the nobleman forgets so much!
Moreover, it is you, Chahar, who are at stake, not me, Daming. Appropriate pressure will only benefit the negotiations.

After receiving the notification from his servants, Bo Luochi was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed his servants to the central hall.

But when he was about to reach the middle hall, he suddenly slowed down again, and his face returned to the usual calm.

"Master Marquis, I heard that Daming is a state of etiquette, but your lord puts an envoy from a country in a villa. Is this how Daming treats guests?"

No matter how anxious he was, he still had to pretend, Borochi suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said with an unhappy expression.

"Haha, Mr. Pineapple, thanks to you claiming to be knowledgeable, don't you know that I, Daming, are celebrating Chinese New Year these two days?
This Spring Festival!But on the big festival of the entire Ming Dynasty, the imperial court does not go to work!

Oh, by the way, our Daming Chinese New Year is very lively, didn't Master Pineapple go out and have a look? "

Liu Hongjian didn't care about Porochi's accusations, but he cared about him in words.

It seems that Daming was too indulgent to these nomadic tribes, and dared to call himself a country. Even the "capital city" is mobile, what kind of country is it!
Small sample, let you pretend, keep pretending, don't piss you off, I'm the loser!

"You..." Polo was so angry that he almost didn't bring it up.

Knowledgeable, but ignorant of the customs of the Ming Dynasty, isn't this pointing at monks and calling them bald?

Besides, it's not that he doesn't want to go out for a walk, he also wants to go out to see the night scene of Daming, and check out the reality of Daming by the way.

But what happened to those strong men at your door?There was also the old housekeeper, who wandered around the door from time to time when he was free. His expression and eyes looked at him like a monster.

What's more, even if you celebrate the festival in Ming Dynasty, don't you know that state affairs are the most important thing?It's really unreasonable!

Just a few words can make a Mongolian tribal minister-level boss so angry. I have to say that Emperor Chongzhen is more generous!
"Why is Lord Pineapple so angry? Could it be that I have said something wrong? Don't worry, you can't get angry often when you are old. It is not good for blood vessels. If the blood vessels burst, your country will lose another pillar!"

Liu Hongjian didn't care whether Po Luo Chi could understand or not, but continued to 'care' about this Mongolian boss who liked to pretend to be C.

"Lord Pineapple, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty issued an order the day before yesterday, agreeing to form an alliance with your ministry." Seeing the old man angrily pointing at him and blushing, Liu Hongjian was really afraid that this guy would have a cerebral hemorrhage.

It's a joke, it's not fun to kill the popularity!

Therefore, Liu Hongjian hastily told the truth, which was considered to have lowered Porochi's anger.

"I don't know where His Majesty the Ming Emperor designated as the location of the exchange market?" Although he was furious, Borochi immediately turned off his fire when he heard the news. After all, he came to run business, not to raid his house.

As long as things are done well, nothing else matters. In his opinion, this is bearing the burden of humiliation!
"Master Pineapple, don't worry, I haven't finished talking yet! In view of your ministry's dishonesty, His Majesty originally didn't agree to form an alliance. Fortunately, I know your ministry's difficulties, so I talked all about it, and finally made Your Majesty Yes.

However, your department must donate three thousand good horses as an apology..." Liu Hongjian said while watching his words.

"This old man agreed on behalf of the Great Khan!" Porochi was very sensitive to the word "but", thinking that Daming wanted to open his mouth again.

You must know that the reason why he is so eager to trade with Daming is because since Daming's An Guohou recovered Shanxi and Shanxi, he cut off private transactions (smuggling) between merchants and tribes.

And the general Tang Feng who guarded the border town was even more reticent, no matter how he bribed him, he just refused to agree to the mutual market.

Daming lacked horses at most without the Mongols, but the Mongols lacked everything except horses!
Since the Mongols were not involved in production, everything from ore, brocade, to small things such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, and even sewing needles depended on Daming for support.

Hearing the request of the lord in front of him, Bo Luochi was overjoyed. He thought that Daming was going to threaten him by ceding land, but who knew it was [-] horses.

His Chahar tribe has a vast territory, with countless pastures, herdsmen, and only [-] horses. It only needs three or five tribes to get together.

"Master Pineapple, don't worry, I haven't finished yet!" Liu Hongjian saw Porochi's expression and knew that the price was going to be lower.

In fact, this errand should have been discussed by the Ministry of Rites, but Liu Hongjian and Ma Shiying, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, have never dealt with each other. They want to make these rotten scholars feel ashamed and ask Beiman for something.
Then he put on an official airs and babbled about useless nonsense such as the Ming Emperor's broad-mindedness, so that Beiman would be grateful and go back to work.

A good reputation is useless, and it can't be eaten as food, so in the end Liu Hongjian asked the emperor for instructions and asked him to handle the matter with full authority.

"Your Ministry must provide my Daming with 12 good horses at a price of [-] taels of silver per horse within half a year. If the money cannot be cashed by the due date, the exchange market will be canceled immediately!"

In the tea-horse market at the border, the market price of good horses was 15 taels a horse. Liu Hongjian wasn't short of the three taels of silver, but it was just a waste of money not to take advantage of the bargain.

"Is your country too harsh?" Po Luochi looked gloomy. Although Ta Chahar could afford 12 good horses, within half a year, the price was still [-] taels.

How to explain this time?This is the alliance under the city!

"Hmph, who told you to go back on your promises and not show some sincerity? How to make my Ming court trust you is the final condition of Daming. If Mr. Pineapple can't make the decision, then please go back and ask your Mr. Ashibu for instructions." sweat!"

"It's Abnai the Great Khan!"

"It does not matter."

Polo Chi was furious, but after thinking about it for a moment, he gave in.

"Then, may I ask, Your Excellency the Marquis, where is the exchange market?" There was no other way, and people had to bow their heads under the eaves.

"Datong Mansion! Master Pineapple will go to the Ministry of Rites to sign the document tomorrow.

His Majesty the present Emperor Daming wishes the alliance between Daming and your ministry a success! "

Forming an alliance with a foreign country is a major event for a country, and the etiquette rules must be very complicated. Now that the conditions have been negotiated, the rest will be left to those self-proclaimed old guys in the Ministry of Rites!
