Lin Danhan took the sign and looked at it carefully.
It was a metal sign with "Ministry of War" engraved on one side and "External Affairs Liaison Office" engraved on the other.
It's beautifully made and I think it must be genuine.
Lin Danhan's thoughts were spinning: As a descendant of the Golden Family, he has always aimed to revive Mongolia.
If he were to succumb to the Ming Emperor, the ancestors of the Golden Family would be so angry that they would jump out of their graves, even though they had no idea.
There are no graves.
But if he didn't agree to the conditions of the Ming Emperor, not to mention Horqin and Nekalkha, even Chahar would be afraid that he wouldn't be able to control it.
Mongolians only believe in the strong and in strength.
He had been defeated by the Ming army in a row, and his prestige had been lost.
Even if the Ming army did not attack, he would be defeated and killed by the forces within Mongolia.
Whether to care about the glory of the Golden Family or to seize your own power is a very annoying choice.
In the original history, Lin Dan Khan was unwilling to fight with Hou Jin.
In 1627 AD, he left the Dorot tribe to stay in their hometown, and then moved westward.
It was easy to defeat the Harashen tribe on the right and the Tumut tribe settled in Guihua City, and established a foothold on the right wing.
But soon the tribes were forced to surrender to Hou Jin, and they were forced to move to Qinghai.
Now that both the Harashen and Tumut tribes have been occupied by the Ming army, he cannot move westward, and to the north he has to face the three Khans of Mobei who have always been at odds with him, so he can only stick to Chahar.
And now the fighting capabilities of the Ming army and the Mongols have widened a huge gap.
This time I have failed in the battle with the Ming army.
Except for Chahar headquarters, it is no longer possible for other Mongolian ministries to obey my orders.
But if you want to surrender to the various Mongolian tribes, you can no longer do it by relying on Chahar's strength alone.
He has always pursued the policy of "reconciling foreign affairs before settling domestic affairs."
Now that he can no longer do so, resisting foreign forces will naturally come to naught.
But he had a bold idea in his mind: "General Li, I want to talk to the general in your army who can make the decision."
Li Delin said: "Great Khan, the most senior general in our army is Commander Du.
Now that our two armies are facing each other, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you two to meet.
In fact, Commander Du only has the power to command the Ming army to fight the Great Khan.
"If your request is in other aspects, he has no right to agree to the Khan's request."
Lin Danhan said: "If I agree to General Li's request, can I make a request?"
Sonomo Noyan quickly shouted: "Great Khan."
Lin Danhan waved his hand, indicating that he should not say anything yet.
Li Delin glanced at Sonomu Noyan and said, "Please tell me, Khan."
Lin Dan Khan said: "I want to ask the Ming Dynasty to borrow troops, so I should first unify all the Mongolian tribes."
Li Delin was stunned.
The cabinet and the General Staff had imagined various possibilities, including Lin Danhan's desperate fight to the end with the Ming army, but they had never thought of this possibility.
Wouldn't this be what the emperor called a traitor, oh, no, a traitor?
Sonomunoyan's face was gray, but he said nothing.
He thought for a moment before saying: "If the Great Khan is really willing to agree to our request, then we will replace a more senior military official to discuss with the Great Khan in detail, such as Sun Cifu."
Lin Danhan asked: "Since I am willing to accept your suggestion, can I ask General Du to postpone the attack?"
Li Delin shook his head and said: "The arrow is on the string and has to be fired.
The most I can do is explain the situation to General Du and ask General Du to consider whether the attack can be slowed down, but the final decision is still in the hands of General Du.
Unless Sun Cifu comes, Only then can we control General Du.”
Lin Danhan said: "I am willing to provide you with the best horses so that you can send the news back to the Xuanfu in one day.
In this way, Sun Cifu should be able to arrive within two days."
Li Delin said: "When we set out last time, Sun Cifu had already rushed back to the capital.
I don't know if he is in Xuanfu now.

But since the Great Khan is sincerely willing to cooperate with us, please provide us with good horses and I will report immediately.
To the court."
Lin Danhan gave the two men four horses.
After Li Delin returned to the Ming army station, he immediately wrote a letter, sealed it and gave it to the two men with the best riding skills to send to the Xuan Mansion, asking them to hand it over to Sun Chengzong.
Then he went to Du Guangting and told him about the conversation with Lin Danhan.
After hearing what he said, Du Guangting said: "You have also seen what happened during the day.
We already have a huge advantage over the Mongols.
Why not take the opportunity to advance and make Lin Dan Khan surrender directly?"
Li Delin shook his head and said: "Actually, I don't know why.
It's just that His Majesty the Emperor specially asked people to study Lin Danhan and believed that he could cooperate with the Ming Dynasty when he was forced to have nowhere to go.
Some people in the imperial court and the General Staff felt that Conquering the enemy without fighting is the best situation, so let me get in touch with Lin Dan Khan."
Du Guangting said: "If you defeat Lin Dan Khan, Mongolia will be separated and disintegrated.
Isn't this the best result?
If you don't kill the snake, you will suffer."
Li Delin said: "His Majesty the Emperor believes that the Mongols cannot be weakened too much, because there are more ferocious enemies to the north of the Mongols."
Du Guangting said proudly: "There are more ferocious enemies than the Mongols before the Ming army.
No enemy is vulnerable to a single blow."
Li Delin said: "I don't quite understand this.
It seems that His Majesty the Emperor is worried that the Mongols will be defeated and conquered by the enemies in the north, so he wants to leave the Mongols to defend the north."
Du Guangting said: "I will attack as usual tomorrow, but you can tell Lin Danhan that as long as he retreats fifty miles every day, our army will stop advancing."
Li Delin came to Lin Danhan's station again and told Du Guangting's words again.
Lin Danhan thought for a while and said: "Fifty miles in one day is nothing, and one hundred miles in two days is barely acceptable.
But if Sun Cifu is less than three days away, it is impossible to retreat one hundred and fifty miles."
Li Delin said: "We have sent people to rush back to Xuanfu overnight.
Even if Sun Cifu is old and cannot arrive in two days, he will probably issue an order to General Du.
The Great Khan can rest assured."
The next day, Lin Dan Khan led his army to retreat fifty miles.
Du Guangting, on the other hand, allowed Wang Zuomin to attack the Dorote tribe on the grounds that he was on the same level as him and was not under his jurisdiction, and captured about 8,000 people from the Dorote tribe.
After Su Xiang received Du Guangting's order to occupy as much land as possible, he fully let himself go and chased the Abaga tribe to a flying halt.
The Ming army captured more than 5,000 people, and half of the rest went to the desert.
North, and most of the rest fled far to the east.
On the third day, Lin Dan Khan continued to retreat fifty miles, and Du Guangting had already received the order from above: continue to follow Lin Dan Khan forward fifty miles and wait for General Lu Xiangsheng, Chief of Staff of the General Staff, to come to negotiate with him
