Xu Pengmin thought to himself, if this is the case, why should I come to see you?
Then he continued: "I heard that the Great Khan was fighting with the Rakshasa Kingdom in the north, and was fighting with the Khalkha tribe in the east.
Now he was about to enter Lhasa, but Lin Dan Khan and others blocked him.
In this case, why didn't the Great Khan pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty?
You can befriend the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty can also influence the Khalkha tribe. " Gushi Khan knew that the Outer Khalkha tribe had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty generally would not interfere in the battle between the Outer Khalkha and Waci.
However, if the Outer Khalkha was defeated, the Ming Dynasty would participate in the attack.
Wathorn.
What's more important is the Rakshasa Kingdom.
Gushi Khan has discovered traces of the Rakshasa people in the north.
Although there are still relatively few Rakshasa people discovered so far, they cannot pose a great threat to Gushi Khan, but the Rakshasa people's Firearms are deeply taboo for Wazai people Fear, Gushi Khan does not want to fight on multiple fronts.
If we can form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, it would be best to first keep the peace in the south and east, and then concentrate on dealing with the Rakshasa people.
However, we need to think carefully about whether we should pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.
Think about it.
Xu Pengmin was not in a hurry, and he did not expect to convince Gushi Khan at once.
He always gave him enough time to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.
He took his leave and left, leaving Gushi Khan to continue thinking.
Gushi Khan summoned his Khan, Hong Taiji, Jinong, Dadaiji, and Zhangjia Hutuktu to a meeting to discuss whether to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.
Everyone knows the current situation in Wasi, so his Jinong Aura said: "Great Khan, there is a Rakshasa Kingdom to the north of us that is always looking for trouble, and Khalkha to the east has always been hostile to us, and now Lin Dan Khan has occupied it.
Dacaotan, it is not pleasant to be surrounded by enemies on all sides.
If we can make friends with the Ming Dynasty, we can at least suppress Khalkha and jointly deal with Lin Dan Khan.
This is a Chinese saying, make friends from far away and attack close by. " His son Latsi disagreed: "If we are asked to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, that would be surrendering to the Ming Dynasty.
When did we Wazi people fall to this point?"
Latsi's words resonated with many people.
Everyone felt that surrendering to the Ming Dynasty was unacceptable, but there was no problem in forming an alliance.
Awula has several Han friends.
He understands the thinking of the Han people very well and said: "Actually, there is no difference between paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty and forming an alliance.
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty believed that he owned the world, and all forces could only become his vassal states. , we only need to give him some symbolic gifts as tribute every year, and there is no need to do anything else. " Gushi Khan said: "That's right.
Waci used to be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, but later he captured the Ming Emperor and asked for ransom.
So we nominally belong to the Ming Dynasty and pay tribute to them every year, but we can get a lot of benefits."
Ratsi said: "Will the Ming Dynasty really restrict the Khalkha tribe?"
Gushi Khan said: "Khalkha should be a vassal state in name only.
The Ming Dynasty should not have limited power over them, but there should be no problem in making peace with them.
We have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
If we encounter a powerful enemy, For example, the Rakshasa people can ask for help from the Ming Dynasty.
I heard that the Ming Dynasty’s firearms are also very powerful.”
When everyone heard about such a thing, they naturally felt that they only needed to pay a nominal fee to get actual benefits.
In any case, it was considered a profit, so everyone decided together to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.
Xu Pengmin was summoned to the big tent by Gushi Khan.
Gushi Khan said: "The sign you showed me a few days ago indicates that you should be from the Ming Dynasty, but it is uncertain whether you are an envoy.
We discussed it , decided to submit to the Ming Dynasty, I will send someone to Beijing to meet the Ming Emperor, you can be your guide. " Xu Pengmin said happily: "I am willing to be driven by the Great Khan."
This matter was much more important than collecting intelligence.
He ordered his men to continue their activities in Duogansi and wait until he returned from the capital before going to Wusizang.
Then he took Gushi Khan's envoy to the capital.
After receiving the report, Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a long time.
It seemed that sometimes his ideas were not bold enough.

The people from the Military Investigation and Statistics Bureau were good people.
They actually served as envoys and persuaded the Waci people to surrender without saying a word. .
And Dai Chunfeng felt that he had gained a lot of limelight.
Xu Pengmin had made himself proud, so he naturally wanted to reward him well.
So he reported to the emperor that he hoped to promote Xu Pengmin from the Special Affairs Office to the rank of major general.
The promotion time was at the end of each year.
The emperor would naturally not refute his face, so Xu Pengmin became the third person promoted to major general by the Military Investigation and Statistics Bureau.
Gushi Khan's declaration of vassalage and paying tribute was seen by the Wazi people as a decision that could be reneged on at any time, and they did not take it seriously.
But it is very important for the Ming Dynasty, because the Ming Dynasty is a country that pays attention to its reputation, and it must be famous when fighting.
For example, it attacked Japan because the Japanese attacked Ryukyu, a tributary of the Ming Dynasty, and attacked Luzon because the Spanish killed the Chinese.
The Hetao was taken back because the Hetao originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty.
Now that Wasi has become a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, if one day he disobeys the Ming Emperor's edict or shows hostility towards the Ming Dynasty, only then will the Ming Dynasty be able to send troops to quell the rebellion with justification.
The different ideas of the two countries led to a misunderstanding about the importance of paying tribute, and Da Ming, whose military force value is now high, will obviously like this misunderstanding.
Zhu Youxiao recognized Gushi Khan as the leader of the four tribes of Wasi, recognized his rule over the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and appointed him as the commander-in-chief of Duogansi Xuanwei Division and the commander-in-chief of Wusizang Xuanwei Division.
These two Xuanwei Divisions were originally of a restrictive nature, and the Ming Dynasty had never actually ruled them, not even officials.
And now this appointment means that Ming Dynasty recognized Gushi Khan's power to occupy these two places.
Zhu Youxiao also greatly rewarded Gushi Khan, giving him a bucket of pearls, a thousand silver coins, a hundred pieces of brocade, ten handles of glass mirrors, a large box of soap, a large box of matches, and a large box of candles.
In fact, this kind of reward cannot be considered generous at all, but Zhu Youxiao thought that it was enough, and he really rewarded him generously.
Unless Gushi Khan did something beneficial to Ming Dynasty, it would not be too late to give him some substantial reward.
Of course, this small reward is already a big deal in Gushi Khan's eyes.
He doesn't care about pearls, but he can't put it down, such as glass mirrors and soap matches.
Such ingenious and practical items are what he needs, of course. , the brocade forging is also very good, you can give it to the Living Buddha, tear it into strips, and decorate it on the mountains.
Zhu Youxiao ordered Shaanxi Governor Hong Chengchou and Mangui to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and asked Gushi Khan to fight Lin Dan Khan first, and wait until the winner was determined between the two sides.
If Gushi Khan wants to enter the Usi Tibetan area, he can be provided with mercenaries to familiarize himself with the situation in the Usi Tibetan area
