Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 686 If They Switch Roles
Yang Hong's voice was old and powerful, echoing in Qianqing Palace.

However, the brows of everyone did not bloom because of this.

It is true that what Yang Hong said is the state that everyone wants to see, but such a major state affairs must be cautious, and they cannot ignore the risks inherent in this matter because of their own hopes.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Ao spoke first.

"What Marquis Yang said is not unreasonable, but there are not only the Oirat tribes outside the border, but also the Tatar tribe under the command of Tuotuobuhua, who are also eyeing me, Ming Dynasty."

"Indeed, in all the previous wars after the Civil War, our Ming Dynasty suffered heavy losses. However, in contrast, the army led by Tuotuobuhua was basically unscathed because it retreated early."

"Besides, because Tuotuobuhua took the initiative to withdraw his troops, I, Ming, agreed to open up the mutual market for him. Over the past year, his strength will definitely increase instead of decline."

"Don't forget, in addition to this time Oala sent envoys, the activities of various Tatar ministries on the border are also an important reference for our judgment. Yang Hou knows that this is not the reunion of Oara and Tatar?"

Although Yang Hong did not have many years of experience in fighting on the border, Wang Ao was admiral of military affairs in Liaodong before, and later, together with Wang Wen, he participated in the negotiation with Tuotuobuhua.

He knows very well that this Tatar Khan is not a mediocre master, so he must guard against it!
"Yes, although Wala and Tatar had old grievances long ago, in the previous civil war, the two abandoned the old grievances and used troops against me, Ming Dynasty, but that time it was Oala as the main force and Tatar as the auxiliary. .”

At this time, Yu Shiyue also said.

"Now, Oirat is indeed weak, but if the Tatars want to annex Oirat, I'm afraid it will not be easy. At this time, it is not impossible for the two to join forces to attack our Ming Dynasty again."

After all, the various signs appearing on the border today are not just as simple as Oala sending envoys, but Tatar's activities also need to be taken seriously.

A single one may not be worth the effort of these ministers, but the appearance of the two at the same time makes people suspect that they are cooperating with each other.

You know, that's how the previous civil engineering battle started.

It's just that at that time, it was also provoking quarrels on the border first, and Tuotuo Buhua sent envoys to test Daming with a letter from the country.

This time was just the opposite of last time. Tatars were active on the border, while Oala sent envoys. Except for the role change, it was almost the same as before.

However, facing the doubts of the two, Yang Hong shook his head and said.

"Benhou understands the meaning of the two of you. Although Wala and Tatar want to annex each other, this does not prevent them from uniting together and wanting to annex my Daming. This is also the last civil war, and I will fight with Tuotuo first. The reason for not spending three armies to attack my Ming Dynasty."

"However, the reason why this Marquis said that this battle cannot be fought is precisely because the roles of Wala and Tatar have already been reversed."

Hearing this, both Yu Shiyue and Wang Ao showed doubts in their eyes. After hesitating for a moment, Wang Ao asked.

"Also ask Marquis Yang to explain more clearly."

"Fame!"

However, before Yang Hong could speak this time, another voice sounded.

Everyone followed the prestige and saw Yu Qian speaking in a deep voice.

"Shoufu, Yu Cifu, what you just said, you have overlooked one point, that is, even among the various tribes in Mongolia, they have the status of monarchs and ministers!"

"If Yu guessed correctly, this is what Yang Hou wanted to say, right?"

Yang Hong nodded, his brows stretched slightly. Although he was sure about the matter in his heart, it is normal for him to feel a little nervous in the face of so many people's doubts.

But now, Yu Qian's words obviously made him more confident in his judgment.

Arching his hands towards Yu Qian, Yang Hong said.

"Yu Shaobao is right, it is exactly the word name!"

"As we all know, Tuotuobuhua has been disobedient to Tuotuobuhua for a long time. Even before the civil war, Oirat's power was so strong that he could coerce Tutuobuhua and cooperate with him to attack our Ming Dynasty."

"However, have you ever thought that he has already reached such a domineering level, why he still didn't annex the Tatars and become a khan on his own?"

After asking these words, both Wang Ao and Yu Shiyue looked pensive.

There is no need for them to answer, Yang Hong gave the answer directly, said.

"Because Tuotuobuhua is a descendant of the old Yuan Dynasty, and the blood of the Golden Family flows through his body. Although the Old Yuan Dynasty is gone now, the Golden Family established by Genghis Khan still has a very high appeal among the grassland tribes. , Tuotuobuhua can become the co-lord of the grassland."

"No matter how powerful he is, he is only one of the tribes in the grassland. Once he does not take any action against Tuotuo, he will face a joint crusade by all the tribes in the grassland."

"Therefore, even though Wala's power is far stronger than that of the Tatars, he only dared to call himself a grand master, and did not dare to openly compete for the Khan position."

Having said that, Wang Ao and Yu Shiyue understood.

They are indeed not as familiar with the things on the grassland as Yang Hong, but if they want to talk about things like names, rituals and laws, they are naturally very familiar with orthodox Confucian education.

In many cases, the name itself cannot restrain people.

Just like today's Oirats and Tatars, if you really want to say that you are limited by the so-called status and dare not compete for the Khan position, it is a joke.

The real reason is that although Yexian's strength is strong, it is not strong enough to sweep the grassland.

It's not that the ministries of the grassland really have any reverence for the Golden Family, but that it is a way to maintain balance when the descendants of the Golden Family who hold the title are in the position when all families want to be crowned.

Everyone is looking forward to the first person who kills Tutuo Buhua and starts the battle for Khan's position, but this person must also die the worst.

Because he will be mobilized and attacked. After the death of this 'rebel', the owner of the title will disappear, and then everyone can truly fight for it in a legitimate way.

This kind of thing has been seen many times in the past dynasties.

At the end of the dynasty, the emperor was weak and the powerful ministers were domineering. However, even if those powerful ministers could abolish the emperor, they would not dare to step on the throne casually. This is the reason.

Especially in troubled times, those who first abolish the emperor and stand on their own will often have to face the joint suppression and killing of various forces under the banner of King Qin.

Yang Hong continued: "Therefore, if you want to go further and become a sweat on the grassland, there are only two paths."

"Either, he may be able to win the war with Tutuobuhua, but after winning, he will face the joint encirclement and suppression of various ministries. If he can continue to win, then he can become the new co-owner of the grassland, but, This road is really difficult."

"So, I chose the second path first, and that is to join forces with the Tatars to attack our Daming."

"The reason why the Golden Family can be recognized by the grassland is because Genghis Khan established a powerful empire at the beginning. If Genghis Khan's feat can be replicated, then all the ministries of the grassland will naturally recognize him as the new 'Golden Family'."

"This is the most important reason for raising troops against me, Daming, but it should be noted that this reason is not valid for Tuotuobuhua. Therefore, although it seems to be similar to the situation before the Civil War , but in fact, the difference in strength between Oala and Tatar is the biggest difference!"
