I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 354 The Tea Horse Fair Reappears

He raised his head abruptly and said to Li Tian,
"Your Majesty, you don't have to painstakingly torture me. As long as you can agree to a few conditions, I will know everything you want!"

Wang Fu sneered and said,

"Hmph, traitorous minister, you deserve to call yourself a minister of Ming Dynasty!"

As he said that, he was about to go up and give him a slap.

But Li Tian stretched out his hand to stop him.

Previously, Liu Gang held the secret to unlocking the treasure, and Zhang Yiliang's life. He still had some strength to talk to Li Tianping.

But now that Zhang Yiliang has been rescued intact, his so-called secrets have become worthless things.

In fact, he has no value to Li Tian.

It's just that Li Tian really couldn't find any suitable enemies at this time, and he took it as his goal.

Leaving him alive is just to let him see for himself. In Li Tian's eyes, the machinations and tricks they are playing are simply pediatrics, and they are not worth mentioning.

Hearing Liu Gang's words at this time, he became a little interested, and said lightly,

"Oh, tell me, what information do you have that deserves my attention? If you can tell me the same thing, I will agree to your conditions!"

Seeing that Li Tian let go, Liu Gang's brain turned rapidly, trying to find out something that could interest Li Tian from the huge amount of information.

If it was in the past, the treasure thing would definitely be a big enough news, but now Li Tian already knows it, so this news is useless.

The rest, what can attract Li Tian's attention is nothing more than the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen, and the situation between the Mobei Grassland and the Mobei Grassland can interest Li Tian.

But the whereabouts of Emperor Jianwen is something that he can't mention even if he is killed.

If he leaked any news, with the ruthlessness of Zhu Di's family, he would be worthy of him if he didn't tear his bones apart.

After much deliberation, he finally decided to tell Li Tian the news about Mobei that he found out from Agula and others.

In the imperial study room, Liu Gang was kneeling under the hall under the pressure of two big men on the left and the right.

Jiang Bao and Wang Fu also stared at him with full attention. If he dared to make any changes, it would not be difficult to kill him in an instant.

"Tell me, what important information do you have!"

Liu Gang stretched his neck, and twisted his neck that was a little numb from the shackles.

"Your Majesty, do you know why Agula and others entered the Central Plains, and they were able to cross the border and sneak into the Central Plains, and who did it secretly!"

Li Tian really doesn't know this question, but he can probably guess a little bit.

Zhu Di's five expeditions seemed to return with a big victory every time, and every time he beat Mongolia dizzy.

But in fact, there was never a time when Mongolia was completely conquered.

Mongolia is a group of communities dominated by individual tribes.

Even if they were dispersed by a wave, as long as they were given enough time, they could reunite into a stronger tribe.

In addition, Zhu Di's strategy of combining vertical and horizontal alliances between Eastern Mongolia and Western Mongolia was due to a mistake in decision-making.

Not only did prayer not have the effect it should have, but invisibly, it further fueled the Mongols' hatred of Ming Dynasty.

The Wala tribe in Western Mongolia had already surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

However, the Ming Dynasty not only failed to take the opportunity to establish a ruling body in Oirat, but instead defeated Eastern Mongolia after uniting Oirat.

Feeling that Mongolia is nothing to worry about, in order to save money, they actually abandoned several guards outside the Great Wall.

He ignored Wala's love, which eventually led to Wala's complete quarrel with Daming.

And after losing several guard posts outside the Great Wall, every time the Ming army wanted to conquer Mongolia, it was tantamount to an expedition.

And what the expedition is most afraid of is not not being able to find the enemy, nor is it encountering any extremely short weather, but an overly long supply line.

Compared with when Zhu Yuanzhang was in power, the territory of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, who claimed to have made great military exploits and always aimed to surpass his own father, has shrunk by one-fifth.

There were five expeditions in more than 20 years, not to mention the waste of people and money. Not only did they fail to destroy Mongolia in the end, but the civil fort change more than ten years later wiped out the last military elite of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just a Mongolia, a nomadic people, and they have beaten the imposing Ming Empire several times.

It's ridiculous enough to think about it.

As for why Agula and others sneaked into the Central Plains, it is probably related to Zhu Di's new funeral and the fact that the political situation of the country is still not stable.

The Central Plains can send spies to the grassland, and the grassland can naturally send spies to the Central Plains.

It's just that their understanding of the spies was a little bit off, and they didn't send out clever and changeable stalls who were good at camouflage, but sent out a fighting group with explosive force value.

As for how they were used by others, in order to obtain information, they were willing to act as thugs of Ming officials, needless to say.

But who secretly got them to the Central Plains, Li Tian just couldn't guess.

So he said to Liu Gang,

"Agula and the others are nothing to worry about. Even if they take over the barbarians, they won't be able to cause any trouble. I'm really interested in who let them in. If you can confess this person, I will promise you one condition."

Liu Gang laughed out loud.
"Fresh, I never thought that His Majesty used to obey the late emperor's order submissively, but now he is so decisive in killing and attacking. He really has the demeanor of a father."

Seeing his criticism of Li Tian's words and deeds, Jiang Bao immediately said angrily,

"Thief, shut up, Your Majesty is someone who can be judged by a sycophant like you!"

Although Li Tian also frowned, he didn't lose his temper, and said lightly,
"Tell me, what conditions do you want!"

Liu Gang narrowed his eyes, and said with a faint smile,
"I just ask Your Majesty not to let me go to Zhao Prison, and I will be satisfied."

"Don't you want to go to Zhao Prison? It's very simple. Can't you find a suitable place for such a big disaster in the capital?"

Liu Gang said excitedly,

"Your Majesty has agreed!"

"Of course, I never talk nonsense."

Liu Gang smiled strangely, and continued the topic just now,
"Your Majesty wants to know how Agula and the others came to the Central Plains. I'm afraid Your Majesty will be furious after hearing this."

When Li Tian heard what he said, his heart skipped a beat.

But he still said without changing his face,

"I haven't seen any storms before, but it doesn't matter if you say it."

Liu Gang chuckled,
"I don't know if Your Majesty knows that there is a tea horse trade fair in Jianzhou, Baoning Prefecture. Although it has only been opened for a short time, it has become the largest trading market within a hundred miles of the local area!"

Hearing this, Li Tian probably knew what he wanted to say.

Hastily interrupted his words, "Okay, you don't need to say any more, I know about it!"
