Chapter 568 Ming Dynasty: The Emperor Guards the National Gate (57)
After the meeting with Zhiyu, Huang Taiji sent people to contact him from time to time. Finally, after more than a month, when Huang Taiji's patience was almost exhausted, Zhiyu finally chose to make concessions.
Looking at the letter in his hand, Huang Taiji couldn't help but shook his head, "People in the Central Plains, whether male or female, are extremely hypocritical."
"The country is in such a state, why do we still care about those empty reputations?"
"It's just a tribute, is it that hard to accept?"
"She changed the tribute to allow border trade, isn't that also giving us money?"
Having said that, Huang Taiji knew in his heart that this was the biggest concession Zhiyu could make.
If she, an emperor who had just come to power, really paid tribute to the Later Jin Dynasty, she might not be able to keep her throne.
After all, Huang Taiji knew what kind of people were in the Ming Dynasty.
"Great Khan, could there be some trickery on the Ming side?"
Seeing Huang Taiji's happy face, Turge couldn't help but ask worriedly.
Huang Taiji shook his head upon hearing this. "The current Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is at the end of his rope. Cooperating with us is her best option."
"After all, the one who wants the Ming Dynasty officials dead the most is not us, but the young emperor himself."
"Besides, whether it's a fraud or not, it doesn't make any difference to us."
"Even if we can't conquer the Ming Dynasty this time, I will have my Later Jin cavalry occupy all Ming territory outside Shanhaiguan."
Since the cooperation was confirmed, Zhiyu naturally asked someone to choose an auspicious day and made an appointment to meet with Huang Taiji again.
After all, the matter is of great importance, and the leaders of the two countries must personally sign the treaty.
There are also details of the plan that need to be discussed carefully by the two of them.
Seeing the so-called auspicious date sent by his subordinates, Huang Taiji couldn't help but twitch his lips. "The little emperor of the Ming Dynasty is really slow in doing things."
"Even to meet, we have to choose an auspicious day."
"Is there any difference between meeting tomorrow and meeting ten days from now?"
Daming side.
Seeing that Zhiyu had dragged on for another ten days, everyone couldn't help but give Zhiyu a thumbs up.
When the Later Jin army came with great momentum, they thought there would be a tough battle, but they didn't expect that this tough battle would be delayed again and again by their own majesty.
If we delay any longer, their first wave of reinforcements will arrive soon...
Zhiyu looked at everyone with amusement, "It's not that I can delay, but Huang Taiji is also waiting for reinforcements."
"The cold weather in the Later Jin Dynasty makes it the busy time for hunting and farming."
"Once the best hunting season is over, the Later Jin will naturally send more troops."
After meeting with Huang Taiji, the two agreed on a series of plans, and Zhiyu also took the opportunity to take Wei Zhongxian back.
But for some reason, Huang Taiji refused to give in on this matter.
"According to the rumors I heard a while ago, Wei Zhongxian is not a good man. Why do you keep asking me for him?"
"Could it be that he has some extraordinary qualities?"
Hearing Huang Taiji's obviously probing words, Zhiyu shook his head helplessly: "If he had any outstanding qualities, he would probably still be enjoying himself in the capital now. Why would he come to a place like a battlefield?"
"I want him back because I promised my brother that I would ensure Wei Zhongxian's lifelong prosperity and wealth."
It is not known whether Huang Taiji believed this or not, but he still had to show his sincerity when facing his allies.
"In that case, I will naturally not let you cause trouble with the Ming Dynasty's Emperor."
"When our plan succeeds in the future, I will personally return Wei Zhongxian."
Hearing this, Zhiyu raised his wine glass and smiled at Huang Taiji, saying, "In that case, thank you very much, Khan."
