In November of the third year of Taichang.

In the Liao Dynasty, the new wind swept over the ground, and frost covered the fields. The grass outside Guangning City was all withered, and the world was filled with a desolate and murderous atmosphere.It had been more than two months since the Han people all over Liaodong raised the banner of anti-Jin righteousness, causing chaos in the hinterland of Houjin. A God-given opportunity was before us, but because Wang Huazhen believed in false reports and was afraid of the so-called Liaoyang ambush, he stood still and watched the opportunity pass.

However, Wang Huazhen never gave up on the great cause of restoring the Liao Dynasty. He always believed in the comprehensive strategy he had planned for a long time - to use the power of Monan Mongolia to contain the main force of the Later Jin Dynasty.

As early as the end of October, Wang Huazhen had selected his close aides as the Guangning mission. He took the letter to the north and went out of the border wall, crossed the frozen Gobi, and went to Chahan Wanhu City. He met Lin Dan Khan, the leader of the Mongolian Communist Party, and asked Mongolia to send troops to join the Ming Dynasty to attack the Jin Dynasty.

After more than a month of trekking through wind and snow, the envoy from Guangning finally arrived at the court of Lin Dan Khan.

At this time, Lin Dan Khan was sitting on the Monan tribes, dominating the vast grasslands outside the Great Wall. At the height of his power, he always looked down on all forces outside the Great Wall, and he had strong troops and horses, and was full of arrogance.Inside the large tent, the floor was paved with animal skins and a fire was blazing. Lin Danhan, wearing a thick mink fur, sat in a high position with unruly eyebrows, looking down at the envoy of the Ming Dynasty who was bowing and saluting at the foot of the stairs, his posture extremely arrogant.

The envoy did not dare to neglect, and respectfully presented the letter of credence written by Wang Huazhen, starting with a clear statement and detailing the current situation in Liaodong: the Hou Jin Dynasty was raging in the Liaozuo and massacred the Han people. Now there are righteous people in the territory, and the imperial court is exhausted and has no time to take care of itself.The Ming Dynasty wanted to raise troops to restore the Liao Dynasty, and was willing to conclude an alliance with the Mongol Khan, join forces from the east and west, and attack from the north and south, so as to defeat the Later Jin Dynasty and permanently eliminate the border troubles outside the Pass.

After the messenger finished speaking his request, there was silence in the big tent.

Lin Danhan twisted the jade ring between his fingers, an indifferent sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he spoke slowly, with the arrogance and pride of a grassland overlord in his voice: "The Ming Dynasty wants to borrow the power of my Mongolian cavalry, I know that."

He raised his eyes and glanced at the envoy, with full confidence, and spoke loudly: "I have 400,000 string control men in Monan, all of them are stationed in the grasslands, and no troops have been mobilized. If I want this Khan to raise his troops to the west to attack Houjin, it is not impossible for you to contain the main force of the slave chiefs for the Ming Dynasty and free up the hinterland of Liaoshen."

The envoy was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly handed over his hand: "If the Great Khan is willing to send troops to help the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court will definitely reward him greatly. He will always remember the Great Khan's kindness in helping!"

"Heavy reward?" Lin Danhan sneered and directly asked for the chips, his attitude was straightforward and greedy, "I have an army of 400,000 men to go to war, which consumes food and grass, destroys people and animals, and it is a huge loss. I will not deal with the Ming's empty talk. If you want me to send troops, I will send 100,000 taels of silver to the royal court, and immediately order troops to march westward."

One hundred thousand taels of silver, a huge amount, far exceeding the previous practice of Ming and Mongolia mutual market aid.

The envoy immediately showed embarrassment and held up his hands for discussion: "Great Khan! One hundred thousand taels is too large, and the lower officials have no right to make the decision! Liaodong has been in war for years and the treasury is empty. The soldiers and people of Liao are still struggling to survive. It is really difficult to raise one hundred thousand taels of silver. I hope the Great Khan will give it some relief!"

In the next few days, the Ming and Mongolian parties repeatedly negotiated and negotiated the price in the royal court.

The envoy Xiaozhi used reason and explained the difficulties, repeatedly stating that the war in Liaodong was difficult and military expenditures were tight; Lin Danhan refused to give in, relying on his key initiative to control the war situation, insisting on a high price, and threatening not to send troops.One side is begging for help, and the other is raising prices. The game shows the embarrassment of a weak country asking for help.

After several back and forths, both parties finally took a step back and finalized the final agreement: fifty thousand taels of silver.

And a compromise rule was set. Ming Dynasty would first allocate half of the silver and escort it to the royal court immediately. After Lin Danhan officially set off with his army and marched to the border of western Liaoning, he would make up the remaining balance.

After the dust settled, Lin Danhan's expression softened slightly, and he finally nodded and agreed to the covenant.

The two sides decided on the spot the time to send troops and the joint attack strategy:

In December of the third year of Taichang, Lin Dan Khan personally led the Monan Mongolian cavalry and sent troops from the western border to attack the rear metal area, forcing Nurhachi to mobilize the main forces of Liaoyang and Shenyang to defend the western front. When the Jin army transferred to the west and the defense of Liaoshen was completely empty, Wang Huazhen led the main force of the Ming army in Guangning to go out and attack Liaoyang City. In response to Li Yongfang lurking in the city, he attacked from the east and west and regained the lost territory of Liaoshen.

The covenant was established, the ink fell on the paper, and Lin Danhan wrote a reply in his own handwriting and handed it to the Ming envoy.

A few days later, the Guangning delegation who had gone north to the outside of the Great Wall returned to the city in the snow, and firmly sent Lin Danhan's handwritten covenant to the Guangning governor's office and handed it to Wang Huazhen's case.

Wang Huazhen couldn't wait to open the letter and read it carefully word for word. Looking at the covenant in black and white and Lin Danhan's signature, the depression of the past few days was swept away. Her whole body was in high spirits, and her face was full of ecstasy.
