    It didn't take long for the Alxa Ministry's envoy to follow the secretary sent by Zhao Hongyu to the military camp where Sun Chuanting was located.

    The reason why Zhao Hongyu met the Alxa envoy at the Ming army¡¯s camp was because he had his own plan.

    After all, for the Alxa tribe, it is impossible for them to know about the so-called American Song Empire.  But these people know the Ming Dynasty very well.

    Furthermore, intelligence collected through personnel from the intelligence department showed that a large part of the reason why the Alxa people came to Jincheng was the Ming Dynasty.

    So, if I rashly tell the Alxa people that I am not a Mingren, but from the distant American continent, it might make the Alxa envoys afraid to tell the purpose of coming to Jincheng this time.

    With such a consideration in mind, Zhao Hongyu finally decided to meet with the Alxa envoy at the Ming army camp where Sun Chuanting was located.  After all, Sun Chuanting was a real official of the Ming Dynasty, but he only obeyed orders under his own command.

    Apart from this, Sun Chuanting can still represent the Ming Dynasty.

    This was one of the reasons why Zhu Shangwu, an unreliable emperor, placed Sun Chuanting next to Zhao Hongyu.

    There is no need to delve too deeply into these.

    Anyway, just give the Alxa messenger an impression so that they will not have other ideas.

    As long as the ultimate goal can be achieved in the end, everything can be ignored.

    After entering the military camp, these envoys from the grassland looked as if they were rustics entering the city.  Even when they were brought in front of Zhao Hongyu, the faces of them still looked like they had not come back to their senses.

    Seeing the expressions of these guys, Zhao Hongyu secretly smiled in his heart.

    "I've heard about your Alxa tribe, but I'm curious why you came to Jincheng? If I know correctly, you and Houjin have an alliance agreement. So you must have failed to pass this time.  A Jurchen from the Houjin side, right?"

    Zhao Hongyu didn¡¯t have any politeness and jumped directly into the topic.

    For his directness.  The envoys of these grassland tribes are quite accustomed to it. After all, they are Mongolian men on the grassland.  There is absolutely no red tape like the Ming Dynasty, and it is most straightforward.

    Therefore, when faced with Zhao Hongyu's question, one of the envoys replied: "This winter, the Alxa tribe has suffered a severe cold attack. Many livestock have been frozen to death, and even some tribesmen have died in this winter. And  We asked Hou Jin for help, but Hou Jin was completely indifferent. So, with such an ally, what else are we going to do? "

    first.  The messenger stated their purpose of coming and told Zhao Hongyu the cause and effect.  And there are many, many contents. Although it is not so detailed, you can also get a glimpse of many things from it.

    "So Hou Jin doesn't know about it anymore?" Zhao Hongyu pondered for a moment.

    Sun Chuanting sat on Zhao Hongyu's lower left hand and kept looking at the messengers.

    These Alxa envoys are no strangers to Sun Chuanting's attire.  Because it was a typical Ming Dynasty general's clothing, and it was Zhao Hongyu who was wearing a French army uniform from the 18th century Europe.  It seemed that they were a little confused and thought this style of clothing was very weird.

    However, looking at him sitting in the middle of the room, he is obviously a person of high status.

    And.  Looking at Zhao Hongyu's appearance, he is still very young.

    So, such a young man who is already in a high position.  Who on earth is it?

    Can he make the decision?

    "I have probably guessed a little bit about your purpose of coming. But what benefits can I and the Ming Dynasty court get?"

    Zhao Hongyu asked straight to the point.

    In fact, this is the purpose of the Alxa envoys.  Zhao Hongyu has basically made up his mind.

    It is nothing more than seeking material support so that they can withstand this cold winter and preserve the tribe's vitality as much as possible.

    Anyway, we can¡¯t count on Hou Jin, so now we can only count on the ¡®Ming¡¯ court.

    Furthermore, the Alxa people may propose an alliance with the Ming Dynasty to deal with Hou Jin together.

    If such a condition is offered, I think the Ming court will not refuse it.

    After all, the geographical location of Alxa is very important.

    Once he fell into the arms of the Ming Dynasty, it would be very dangerous for Hou Jin.

    Because if this happens, it will basically cut off Houjin's channel to Mongolia, and the losses to Houjin will be huge.

     Of course, the Alxa Department was forced to do nothing.

    But if there is a way to survive, they will not do this.

    Because what they did would make Hou Jin furious.

    No one will let such a dangerous thing happen, and the same goes for Houjin.

    So, when the time comes, Hou Jin will definitely send a large army to conquer the Alxa tribe, and then the Alxa tribe will be in danger.

    But no matter what, that will happen in the future.

    And, even if it reaches that point, you can still ask the Ming army to join you in resisting Hou Jin.

    But now, if a large amount of supplies cannot be obtained, it will be impossible for the entire tribe to survive the entire winter.

    Even if a small number of tribesmen can survive, how long can the Alxa tribe survive on the grassland after losing a large number of people and livestock?

    Whether it is other tribes or Houjin, they will probably take the opportunity to annex or eliminate them.

    On the grassland, it is impossible for a tribe with weakened strength to survive.

    And Hou Jin, who has always coveted the Alxa Division, will definitely take action.

    The main reason why the Alxa tribe is still standing is because it still has hundreds of thousands of tribesmen and a large number of cattle and sheep as its foundation.

    With these foundations, these forces dare not make any moves.

    Hou Jin also pretended to form an alliance with himself instead of sending troops to occupy territory forcefully.

    Even so, life in the Alxa Division is not easy.

    Leaving aside the surrounding tribes for the time being, just to meet some of Houjin¡¯s demands has made the Alxa tribe worse than the previous year.

    A large number of cattle, sheep and horses were sent to Houjin under various excuses, but Houjin did not give them a penny.

    That¡¯s not all. Every year, the Alxa Ministry is required to send 3,000 cavalry to be driven by Houjin.

    And these three thousand cavalry can often come back alive.  There are only more than 2,000 people.

    In other words, hundreds of people die every year in foreign wars driven by Hou Jin.

    ??Although Alxa tribe has hundreds of thousands of people, it seems to be a large population.

    But you have to know that developing a qualified soldier, especially a strong soldier, is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight.

    So, even the loss of a few hundred people is enough to make the Alxa tribe feel pain.

    But, this kind of endless exploitation.  But there is no end in sight.

    These Alxa people can endure it.

    Who made the Houjin family dominate the northern Xinjiang region and flourish their military power?

    Moreover, Hou Jin still had the name of an ally hanging on his head.

    But no one could have imagined that Hou Jin would do such a great job and get it for free.  When the so-called allies are in trouble, they don't even extend a hand, even if they mean nothing.

    This is really so chilling.

    So, since you are ruthless.  Just don't blame me for being unjust.

    In fact, tearing up the agreement is a normal thing for the grassland tribes.

    So, Alxa decided.  After a complete betrayal, Hou Jin went to talk to Daming, and if possible, he would throw himself into Daming's arms and fight against Hou Jin.

    As long as Da Ming can lend a helping hand, betraying Hou Jin is not a big deal.

    Who are you hanging out with?

    "At least, Ming Dynasty will not be as shameless as Hou Jin.  Always eat and drink for free and take orders for free.

    Such things are normal, especially for people from Mongolian tribes who are looking for opportunities to survive.

    So.  Now comes the problem.

    It¡¯s not that they can succeed if they want to take refuge. They need a lot of help now.  Only then can we discuss the issue of surrender, and they are now apparently allies of Hou Jin.

    Once they regret it, wouldn¡¯t it be fun?

    No one can guarantee that this kind of thing will not happen.

    At the same time, even if they succeed, what benefits can they bring to the other party?

    In this world, if you have no value, no one will accept you.

    The messenger of Alxa is also very clear about this truth.

    Now, since the young man asked, the messenger must give a good answer.  If the other party is not satisfied, then their visit will be in vain.

    So, after some deep thought, the oldest of the messengersThe man came out and treated Zhao Hongyu with the courtesy of the grassland.

    "Respected and noble people, all our Alxa tribe can offer is vast pastures and hundreds of thousands of tribesmen. But I dare say that as long as they can accept us and help us survive this winter, then the Ming Dynasty  The imperial court will definitely not suffer any loss."

    "The geographical location of our Alashan tribe is very important. It connects the hinterland and the east of the Mongolian grassland. Once we control this place, it will be equivalent to cutting off the passage from Houjin to the grassland. Then, the Horqin tribe, which has a very unusual relationship with Houjin, will also  It will be blocked to the west of the grassland by our Alxa, and Houjin will no longer be able to receive its large amount of material assistance. And how long we can block the Horqin tribe depends on the imperial court."

    This old man from the Alxa tribe in the grassland explained everything clearly.

    So, now even an idiot knows how to choose.

    Sun Chuanting, who was sitting on the lower left of Zhao Hongyu, looked excited and seemed to have been moved by the other person's words.

    Yes, from the standpoint of the Ming Dynasty, it is certainly best to accept the Alxa Division.

    However, it is impossible for Sun Chuanting to make the decision for Zhao Hongyu, because his words do not count here.

    "Are you sure you want to join the Ming Dynasty?" Zhao Hongyu pondered for a moment, and then asked a question that stunned all the Alxa envoys.

    What!

    What do you mean by this!  !  !  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
