Once the Ming Dynasty occupied Liaodong, it would definitely turn its guns against Mongolia. Moreover, Mongolia could not help but covet Liaodong.
If the Ming and Jiannu went to war, the Mongols would likely be waiting nearby for an opportunity. If they had the chance, they would swallow up the Ming and then take Liaodong. This would actually allow them to become even more powerful, making them a threat to Ligdan Khan.
Zhu Youxiao also had this little thought. As the saying goes, how can one allow others to sleep soundly beside his bed?
How could we give the Daning area to the Mongols?
Besides, on the grasslands, the Ming Dynasty did not need a force that could threaten its borders. It just needed a few years of peace, and then everyone would definitely turn against each other.
If they want to get involved in the Liaodong War, then perfect, just wipe them out. Then, from Khorchin to Inner Khalkha, everything will be under Ming rule. The original territory of the Three Doyan Guards will also be under Ming rule, and we can go straight west to attack Ligdan Khan.
Although everyone is prepared for a falling out, they still appear harmonious and satisfied on the surface.
The two sides quickly agreed on the terms.
After this negotiation, Zhu Youxiao will give each of them equipment for 5,000 people; and each of them will give 2,000 good horses in exchange for these equipment as payment for the purchase of equipment.
After the three of them return, they will immediately organize their troops and prepare for war, attacking the three guards of Doyan from north to south; Zhu Youxiao will provide support in Guangning.
If the war goes unfavorably, the Ming Dynasty will directly send troops to take Daning, cut off the retreat of the three guards of Doyan, and help Mongolia attack from both sides; on the other side, the Ming army will frantically build momentum in the Tieling Qinghe line to suppress Huang Taiji and make him dare not move.
In fact, as long as the Ming army advanced, Huang Taiji would not dare to move. He was afraid that his base would be raided. If he really moved his troops westward, Zhu Youxiao would really dare to attack his base.
After the alliance was formed, both sides formulated a covenant and everything was finalized at this moment.
In just two days, everything was done.
After Zhu Youxiao sent the people away, he began to prepare for the transaction and at the same time mobilized troops to prepare for this battle.
This was the first time that the Ming Dynasty took the initiative to stir up trouble in Liaodong since Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne.
