Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 958 Rebellion

Aluta saw this clearly, so he decided to save himself from the desperate situation and came to Taining Guard in person to persuade Azhashili to return to the "Mongolia" army.

Now, seeing Azashili in such a decadent state despite being in a wealthy place, Alutai felt that he had won the battle. He said, "When the king was the king of the Yuan Dynasty, he was so heroic. But when Alutai came to see him today, he only saw that the king looked so decadent, without any of his former heroic spirit."

"Your Majesty, you are a Mongolian man. If you degenerate like this, wouldn't you be betraying the strong body that Changshengtian has bestowed upon you?"

"The Ming Dynasty has humiliated the king so much, using the title of 'dudu' to send a noble king away. Are you still willing to be a minion of the Ming Emperor?"

"The Ming Dynasty is powerful, but why can't the Ming Dynasty destroy Alutai and Bayanchur Khan despite the many attacks? The grassland is the grassland of the grassland people after all. Does your Majesty really think that the Ming Dynasty can occupy the grassland forever?"

Azashili's face turned pale and blue. To be fair, although he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, he never thought that the Ming Dynasty could maintain long-term peace on the grassland.

The rule of the Central Plains dynasty on the grassland was ultimately too weak. From ancient times to the present, there has been no precedent for the Central Plains dynasty to rule the vast grassland.

Although the Ming Dynasty is now making changes and has achieved certain results... however, the inertia of thinking over thousands of years cannot be overturned by just a few years of results.

Most of the grassland tribes surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and most of them were just like Azhashili, just "following the trend."

If the Central Plains dynasty was weak, these wolf-like grassland nobles would surely jump up again, bite off a piece of flesh from their bodies, or even swallow them all into their stomachs... Azhashiri was very clear about this.

"Why must I cooperate with your Khan?" Azashili twisted the wine bowl in his hand, a sinister light flashing in his narrow eyes. "The Yuan Dynasty made me a king, but made me stay in the barren grassland. The Ming Dynasty only made me a governor, but gave me countless wealth."

"What can Ben Ya Shi Li give me? He is now nothing more than a stray dog ​​being chased by the Ming Dynasty... I can continue to accumulate wealth and wait for the Ming Dynasty to weaken. Why should I cooperate with you and Ben Ya Shi Li?"

"Because the Ming Dynasty will not give you a chance." Alutai's eyes flashed. He looked around and said with a smile: "Fine wine, gold, beautiful women... King Liao, do you think that the Ming Dynasty really gave you these gifts to reward you for your achievement in killing Prime Minister Tuohuochi?"

"Haha, the Ming Dynasty gave you wealth but didn't give you the opportunity to fight and gain merit. They placed you in this seemingly rich grassland, but in fact it was surrounded by the Ming army."

"Aren't we just waiting for the herdsmen of Taining Guard to turn their hearts to the Ming Dynasty, and then kill you, the former King of Liao, to eliminate the troubles of the Ming Dynasty forever?"

"Wealth... is it really a reward for you, the King of Liao? Haha, in my opinion, Alutai, they are not rewards..."

"On the contrary, it is a dose of poison that paralyzes the entire Taining Guard, as well as you, the King of Liao."

"Lord Liao, do you really think that the Ming Dynasty will allow the Taining Guard to grow stronger? I am afraid that when the Taining Guard loses its vigilance and is paralyzed by the wealth and splendor of the Ming Dynasty court, the Ming Dynasty will send out a large army to completely destroy the Taining Guard!"

Aluta spoke with a heartbroken tone, as if he saw Azhashili fall into the Ming Dynasty's treacherous scheme and was about to be doomed.

Azashiri's brows furrowed deeply.

What Alutai said was indeed a reality. As the Taining Guard became increasingly prosperous, a large number of herders were dissatisfied with the exploitation of him as their chief, and often wanted to escape from the Taining Guard's grazing area and go to the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, many of the soldiers under his command were dazzled by the huge profits from the market and wool trade and did not want to fight for him anymore. They wanted to leave their horses and become shepherds or Mongolian merchants.

Even he, because of the wine and sex that the Ming Dynasty "gave" him, lost his former heroic appearance. He looked down at his reflection in the wine bowl: his cheeks were sunken, his cheekbones were protruding, his beard was untidy, and he looked like he had been drinking too much.

After hearing what Aluta said, he no longer thought that it was because the lives of the herdsmen of Tainingwei were getting better and better or because he was indulging in wine, sex and pleasure. Instead, he really thought that it was the Ming Dynasty that was harboring evil intentions and wanted to harm these grassland tribes.

He already had resentment towards the imperial court, and the thought made him even more furious. Arutai observed Azashri's expression and knew that he was already interested. Seeing this, he hurriedly said, "The Khan sent me here to join the King of Liao in this great event..."

"The Khan is willing to make you the King of Yan of the Yuan Dynasty and give you the title of Grand Marshal, second only to the emperor and above all others. When Emperor Hongwu passes away, the Ming Dynasty will surely be unable to cope with the situation. By then, the Grand Marshal and the Khan will work together sincerely and may be able to take back the grassland and confront the Ming Dynasty from north to south."

The King of Yan was the most noble of all the kings in the Yuan Dynasty. This was the title of the Yuan Dynasty's imperial princes before they were promoted to the crown prince. Bayanchur was willing to make Azhashiri the King of Yan, which basically meant that he promised him that after he, the Great Khan, passed away, he, Azhashiri, would be the new Great Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Azhashiri's heart beat fast. He was not from the Golden Family, so he had never thought that he could become the Khan of the grassland... But if he had the endorsement of Bayanchur, the recognized Khan of the Golden Family on the grassland, it seemed that it might not be impossible for him to become the Khan?

However, he was still wary of the strength of the Ming Dynasty, especially around Taining Guard, in addition to Fuyu Guard and Duoyan Guard, there were also a large number of Ming Daning Dusi troops and the army of Weigong Xu family on guard. Even though he was very tempted by Alutai's proposal, he had to force himself to calm down in the face of the situation and rejected Alutai's recruitment.

"The Ming Dynasty is powerful. If they knew that our Taining Guards were rebelling, I'm afraid that as soon as the news got out today, the army of the Daning Military Commission would come to wipe out our Taining Guards tomorrow."

"...Forget it, Alutai, go back. I will give you enough gold for the Khan to recruit soldiers and horses."

"As for my Taining Guard...if I find an opportunity in the future."

"I, Azashili, will naturally raise the flag and respond to the Khan."

"Hahahaha." Knowing that the big thing has been accomplished, Alutai couldn't help but laugh happily. He said bluntly: "Why wait until later? Now is a great opportunity!"

"Does the King of Liao know that the young grandson of the Ming Emperor is now in the Daning Army?"

"If we can capture him...King Liao, do we still have to worry about whether we can accomplish our mission?"
