Even if Lin Dan formed an alliance with Khorchin and the two sides fought eastward together, Zhu Youxiao would not be afraid.

If the battlefield was opened in Liaodong, and Lin Danhan, Khorchin and Jiannu came together, Zhu Youzheng would have to give them a severe blow.

On the grassland, Zhu Youxiao could not fight them. After all, they could run away. The grassland was vast, and the Ming army could not chase them.

But if the three of them reached Liaodong, Zhu Youzheng could give them a big wave. By then, the Ming army would be fully equipped with hand-cranked rotary machine guns, vehicle-mounted rocket launchers, various artillery pieces, and flintlock rifles.

It was just right to use these three families to practice. Zhu Youxiao believed that after the battle, they would definitely become hospitable and their communication with the Ming Dynasty would definitely be very harmonious and friendly.

At that time, Zhu Youxiao could proceed to the next step: political, ethnic and economic integration.

Only the first part is true, the latter part is just a pie in the sky painted by Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao also believed that neither Wu Keshan nor his father would believe what he said, and they would definitely have other thoughts.

For example, first unite and then rebel, for example, after annexing the three guards of Doyan, you can also annex Liaodong.

If the Khorchin could destroy the three guards of Doyan and then destroy Liaodong and occupy its territory, they would become a powerful ruler. Whether they go west to deal with Ligdan Khan or go south to deal with the Ming Dynasty, they would have the strength to fight.

In fact, it doesn't matter what Khorchin thinks or does. All Zhu Youxiao has to do is to stir up Khorchin's ambitions.

Once you have strength, your thinking will naturally change. This is why Zhu Youxiao allowed Khorchin to annex the three guards of Doyan.

Once the three guards of Doyan are captured, the power of Khorchin will greatly expand. At that time, it will not be so easy for Jiannu to make Khorchin surrender.

The Jiannu wanted to swallow up the Khorchin, but the Khorchin also wanted to swallow up the Jiannu. Given equal strength, conflicts were inevitable. This is an eternal truth.

Zhu Youxiao didn't believe that Korchin would be willing to be bullied by Huang Taiji.

Wu Keshan looked at Zhu Youxiao, pondering what he said.

Putting aside other things, just providing a batch of equipment and allowing Khorchin to annex the three guards of Doyan is a real benefit. Once successful, Khorchin's strength will be rapidly improved.

At that time, I would be able to do whatever I wanted and I wouldn't have to listen to the man in front of me who claimed to be the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

As for what the Ming emperor said, not all of it can be believed. But one thing is certain, that is, the Ming Dynasty does not have the strength to annex the entire grassland, and by then, Korchin will be the master of the grassland.

Thinking of this, Wu Keshan was immediately moved.

Bumbutai, who was sitting next to Zhu Youxiao, had a thoughtful expression.

She believed that some of what Zhu Youxiao said was true, but some of it was absolutely false and could not be believed at all.

This person had bad intentions, but Bumbutai just couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Some of the emperor's words were hard to believe, such as his support for Khorchin's unification of Mongolia. Such words were just for tacit agreement. A unified Mongolia would not benefit the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty would not be willing to do so.

As for the Ming Dynasty's desire to retake Liaodong, this is probably true; it is also true that they wanted to help Khorchin. However, it was not an alliance, but mainly to split the alliance between Khorchin and Huang Taiji.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty had another thing to do, which was to cut off Huang Taiji's way to the west. In this way, Huang Taiji was blocked in the land of Liaodong, with no room for advance or retreat.

Under such circumstances, the Ming Dynasty could easily eliminate Huang Taiji in Liaodong. If they wanted to go west, they would have to go to war with Khorchin.

As for the alliance with Khorchin, the two sides have already formed an alliance. Annexation and alliance are two different things. Once annexed, it is yours, but an alliance can be betrayed at any time.

Bumbutai understood this, and so did everyone else.

Even if Khorchin and Huang Taiji formed an alliance, they would not allow them to infiltrate the west. How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed? That is my territory, I cannot let them even lay a hand on it.

The question is what to do now? Should I agree?

This was crucial. If she didn't agree, the Ming would detain her brother and spread rumors of an alliance with Khorchin, even supporting the Three Guards of Doyan to annex Khorchin, disrupting the marriage between Khorchin and Huang Taiji. Her brother wouldn't be able to escape, and she would die.

Bumbutai looked at her brother Wu Keshan worriedly.

Although she was intelligent, she was still young and didn't know what to do. She hoped her brother could make a decision for her.

At this time, Wu Keshan's mind was in a state of confusion and he was a little worried for a moment.

If Huang Taiji knew about the Khorchin, would they attack the Khorchin? Could the Khorchin defeat Huang Taiji?

If the Ming people deceived me, it would be terrible. But if I didn't choose to form an alliance, then my life would be here, and my sister would also be here.

If they agreed, it would not be without benefits. At least they could get the support of the Ming Dynasty, good weapons, and inexhaustible money and food. By then, Khorchin could become stronger and gain many benefits.

Once ambition is ignited, it is difficult to extinguish.

Zhu Youxiao's words and strategies have ignited the flame in Wu Keshan's heart.

Form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, annex the three guards of Doyan, and then strengthen Khorchin, so that it will have the strength to fight whether it is to the east or to the west.
