Chapter 633
That's how people are. When faced with a life-or-death decision, they usually choose to save their own lives first.

But when he found that his life was safe, he began to think about things again, thinking about what he had and what he didn't.

Shuo Lei is typical of this mentality.

Originally, when they heard that Daming had sent troops to them, they were immediately terrified.

I was worried that people would kill my tribe, but when I heard that not many people came, I felt at ease again.

Thinking that he had seen through Mingren's plan, he began to think about how to use the current situation to maximize his benefits.

The more he thought about it, the more Shuo Lei felt that it was reliable.

And it's quite reliable.

So he lay on the bed tossing and turning, thinking about it, and fell asleep in a daze in the middle of the night.

Early the next morning, he excitedly called several important leaders under his command to discuss the matter together.

"Khan, I don't agree." As soon as his words fell, someone raised objections.

"Manduna! What's your opinion?" Shuo Lei's face pulled down.

Ben Khan thought for most of the night, and finally came up with a good idea. Will you give me a no when you come up?

If you don't tell me about the ugly Yinmao, let's see if I can clean up my mess!

"Great Khan, although doing business with the Ming Dynasty can make a lot of profits in a short period of time, it is like seeking the skin of a tiger. They use a small amount of profits to corrupt us herdsmen, making them indulge in pleasure and get used to living dependent on the Ming Dynasty.

In a few years, the herdsmen will get used to this kind of life, and by then, they will try to annex the entire Chechen Khanate! "

Mandu's voice was loud, expounding his point of view.

But his words were quickly refuted by another person.

Uliji.

A tribal leader whose strength is not inferior to his.

"Manduna, what you said sounds reasonable at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, is it because of doing business with Daming or because of Huduntu's self-willedness and lack of ambition?
Everyone must know that if Hu Duntu hadn't gone back on his word, tore up the agreement with Ming Dynasty, and ignored Ming Dynasty's face, would Ming Dynasty have sent troops to attack? "

"But when Emperor Chongzhen treated Huduntu's illness at that time, he asked him to lead his troops to surrender to Daming! Such a condition can be agreed casually? Daming's ambition to annex Mongolia is clearly revealed! I think Huduntu did it. Yes! Although Cha Khan was wiped out under his leadership, the fault is not his, but the ambitious Emperor Chongzhen!"

"It is indeed reasonable for you to say this, but let me ask you, when you Hu Duntu is facing a powerful neighbor like Daming, have you ever thought about the consequences of tearing up the agreement between the two parties? Have you ever thought that such a powerful neighbor will Are they making trouble? If they know that there is such a possibility and act recklessly, it is the tiger's own fault!"

"Wuli Ji, according to what you mean, we only need to be respectful to Daming and look forward to it, so as to avoid being annexed by them?" Manduna asked with a sneer, obviously in response to Uli Ji's humble and cowardly thoughts. Dissatisfied with behavior.

"Manduna, if you firmly believe that Ming Dynasty will annex us, then let me ask you one of the most important questions! If, like annexation, they directly marched [-] troops to attack! How should we resist? Or say , how do you intend to resist?"

"This"

Uliji asked the most heart-wrenching question, which directly left Manduna speechless.

Yes, even if you try all kinds of methods and strategies, in the face of absolute strength, there seems to be no solution at all.

Manduna didn't speak, and those who had the same attitude as him also turned off their flames.

To say a thousand words and ten thousand, the most important problem is that you can't beat others.

If he has the strength to stand up to Daming, even if he doesn't hand over Ezhe, what's the fear?
"I know that everyone thinks that showing kindness to Da Ming seems to be a matter of humiliation. But there is also a saying that the situation is better than people. Temporarily bowing your head can save the herdsmen under you from harm. Keep your own territory for the time being. Aren't these more important than face?"

"I don't believe it, the Ming people are so invincible! They were terrified by the rumors that they were killed by Jiannu. It's only been a few years. Could it be that everything has changed?" Manduna didn't speak, another tribal leader spoke.

"Ba Gen, where are you now, Jianu, who you killed in the air and frightened the Ming people?"

"This"

Ulji's question was sharp and pointed at the root cause, the person who asked the question was speechless, and it seemed that Zhuge Liang's tongue was fighting against the group of Confucians.

The scene fell into silence for a while, Shuo Lei saw this, and smiled.

"We're just discussing it first. The specifics depend on Mingren's request. Benhan speculates that the purpose of their trip is most likely to ask for Guiyingcha and Ezhe. First, they only dispatched five Thousands of soldiers, the second is that they have just annexed Chuhan and need to recuperate, and it is unlikely that they will launch wars in a short period of time.

Therefore, one of the first considerations now is if they come to ask for Gui Yingcha and E Zhe.

Shall we pay people, or not? "

After listening to Shuo Lei's words, everyone fell into deep thought again.

Thinking about the pros and cons of making friends or not making friends.

If you don't pay, it means a complete betrayal of the past, and you can't even preserve the blood of the Great Khan you once followed. There is no blood at all, and it will be shameless.

If they didn't pay, they would have to bear Daming's anger, and even gave Daming an excuse to send troops to Chechnya. The consequences were even more unbearable for them.

After much deliberation, the balance in everyone's heart is more or less tilted to one side.

Compared with the life and death of his own tribe, the blood of the old master is nothing, not a real relative.

pay!
Everyone present looked at each other and reached a consensus tacitly.

"Great Khan, Ezhe is the bloodline of Hu Duntu Khan. Whether it is for morality or everyone's will, it is necessary to keep him safe. But now the situation is serious, the Ming Dynasty is eyeing it, and its external attitude is unprecedentedly tough.

If the purpose of their visit this time is really to ask us to hand over Er Zhe, I'm afraid we really have to hand it over.It's a bit of a violation of morality to hand it over.But if you don't hand it in, I'm afraid you will welcome more troops from the Ming Dynasty!

I can put life and death aside, but we can't let thousands of herdsmen suffer like this, they are innocent!They shouldn't break their peaceful life and lose their precious lives for a person who has never met before!

So, my opinion is.

As long as Ming people come to ask for someone, we will hand it over!What do you think? "

The first one to speak was Uliji, who was so eloquent. He set out from the height of the tribe, showing that he was indifferent to life and death, and would do anything if he refused to accept it, but he could not bear the suffering of the people under his command.Dayi said the most embarrassing words in the strongest tone.

Hand over.

Don't fucking bother us.
