Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 585 Sincere Cooperation
Emperor Chongzhen kept his identity as the master of Gewuxue and continued to fool all living beings. At the same time, Wang Chengen, the eunuch in charge of ceremonies and the admiral of Xichang, rushed to Shanhaiguan.

Du Yinxi, governor of Jiliao who was sitting here, heard the news, immediately came out to greet Wang Chengen, and politely took Wang Chengen to the lobby.

At this time in the court, no one mentioned whether eunuchs are eunuchs or not.

If we really want to divide, then there will be only the imperial party and not the imperial party.

All the officials who are promoted by the current emperor by leapfrogging belong to this party and are envied by others.

To some extent, Du Yinxi and Wang Chengen are their own people.

Du Yinxi knew that Wang Chengen was always by the emperor's side and would not leave normally.But now, Wang Chengen actually left the capital and came to him, there must be something important.

Therefore, he met Wang Chengen in the lobby without calling anyone else.

Du Yinxi asked seriously with a little curiosity: "I don't know if the father-in-law came here in person, is there something important?"

On Wang Chengen's side, he naturally knew Du Yinxi's position in Emperor Chongzhen's heart, so he was polite, and quickly replied: "Long Live Lord has far-sightedness and has already drawn up a strategy for the grassland. Our family is here to discuss with Lord Du to see how to implement it in detail. ?”

"Anthracene?" Du Yinxi was a little shocked when he heard it, and quickly asked seriously, "I don't know what grassland strategy His Majesty has set?"

He is the governor of Ji Liao, and the enemies he has to deal with are those outside the pass, not only the Liaodong Jian captives, but also the grassland tribes.Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen's grassland strategy has a lot to do with him, so he is naturally very concerned.

On Wang Chengen's side, he wouldn't hide it from him, so he said everything in detail, and at the end, he even exhorted: "This matter has a lot to do with it, I don't know what Master Du has in mind, to carry out the far-sighted plan of Lord Long Live His wise strategy?"

Du Yinxi was very surprised when he heard that, he never expected that Emperor Chongzhen would come up with such a grassland strategy!
You know, from ancient times to the present, no matter what the Central Plains dynasty is, what they consider is always the tribal patriarch, the sweat, etc., from the top of the Mongolian tribe, or alliance, or marriage, anyway, it is all kinds of things. The means are all used on the high-level members of the Mongolian tribe.

The simplest example, just like today's Jianlu, their strategy to deal with the grassland tribes is to marry the upper class of the grassland tribes. When did they consider ordinary herdsmen?
However, the methods used by the current emperor are completely different from those used in the past. It turned out to be a way to win over the herdsmen at the bottom.

To be honest, when I first listened to it, Du Yinxi subconsciously thought how could such a strategy work?So unconventional!
But fortunately, the person who spoke was the dignified ceremonial supervisor, eunuch and admiral of Xichang, the absolute confidant of the current emperor, so Du Yinxi listened patiently and listened to Wang Chengen's words.

As a result, after hearing what happened, Du Yinxi became more and more surprised.Because he found that according to the complete strategy of Emperor Chongzhen, it is really possible to solve the grassland problem once and for all, and there will be no future troubles.

Moreover, if this strategy is implemented at this time, it is also the right time.

If it is said that the grassland at this time is an empire that was as powerful as the Mongol Empire or the Jin Kingdom, then this method of trying to win over the herdsmen at the bottom to completely control the grassland will only seem ridiculous, and it is simply impossible!

But what is the situation on the grasslands today?
Today's grasslands do not have a complete country at all, but are disintegrated and only exist in the form of tribes.Although there are some profuse khans and the like, these are all self-appointed by the patriarchs.

The most important thing is that the low-level herdsmen on the grassland are living in absolute hardship!

In fact, not to mention the low-level herdsmen, it is the ordinary Mongolian nobles who have a hard time.The root cause was the persistent blockade of the Mongolian grassland by the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention anything else, it is a simple fact that many of the arrowheads of the Mongolian tribe are made of bones or stones, because there is no more iron.This is also one of the reasons why the grassland tribes were so scumbag in combat effectiveness at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, this is just an ordinary herdsman. For the cronies of the Mongolian nobles and the standing army, it is not so miserable.

The Mongolian tribe is so poor, it is natural that the worst ones can only be those low-level herdsmen, not those noble lords.In other words, no noble lord would share the joys and sorrows with the low-level herdsmen.If so, this tribe would have risen long ago.

When Du Yinxi was the governor of the three sides in Qin, he already knew the situation of the Mongolian tribe. Now that he has become the governor of Jiliao in Shanhaiguan, he has further learned about the situation of the Mongolian tribe.

Therefore, he can be sure that the imperial court can improve the lives of ordinary herdsmen without paying too much, so that they can defect to the imperial court.

A very simple example is that in today's Guanning Army, there are many soldiers of the Mongolian tribe.

Even in the original history, in the [-]th year of Chongzhen, Jianlu attacked several guards before Shanhaiguan. Among them, the Zhongqian station defended by Li Fuming's general army was eventually captured by Jianlu because he refused to surrender. Among them, more than a thousand soldiers of the Ming army were Mongolian soldiers.

At this time, after hearing Wang Chengen's words, Du Yinxi thought about it, and felt that this strategy, which was the opposite of the previous grassland strategy, was very promising, and immediately became excited.

I just heard him say to Wang Chengen in that excited tone: "Your Majesty's strategy is very good. For this first step, I have plenty of manpower on my side. You can send them to the grasslands to spread the imperial court's new policy to those low-level herdsmen!"

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Wang Chengen felt that everything was going well, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and quickly asked, "Tell me more about it!"

Wang Chengen had never left the capital before, so it was naturally impossible to know everything about the specific situation in various places.Therefore, neither he nor Emperor Chongzhen actually knew that there were actually many Mongolian tribesmen in the Guanning Army.

At this time, Du Yinxi explained the specific situation, and finally raised his voice: "As long as the imperial court can really do what it promised, and the Mongolian soldiers under this official go back to publicize, there will definitely be many low-level herdsmen Come and run!"

When he said this, he paused for a moment, and said with less excitement: "However, it would be very difficult for those low-level herdsmen to arrest their leaders. Unless they provide information, the official will Just send out cavalry!"

As I said before, the herders at the bottom are, to some extent, unarmed.The standing army of the Mongolian nobles is not to mention well-equipped, but it is definitely much better than ordinary herdsmen.It is really unrealistic to rely on their own strength to resist, the Mongolian nobles.

In the final analysis, the situation of the grassland tribes and the southwestern chieftains is somewhat different.

The southwestern chieftains are settled, and the imperial army is approaching the city. If they want to escape, the price will be very high.

The grassland tribes are nomadic. Compared with the southwestern chieftains, if they want to escape, the price will be much lower and it will be difficult to find them.

Therefore, on the southwestern chieftain side, under the pressure of the imperial army, those chieftain soldiers tended to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, but the standing army of the Mongolian nobles, because they were under less pressure, would not be as easy to abandon the dark and turn to the bright like the chieftain soldiers.

Du Yinxi is not the type to boast and talk, and he is very keenly aware of this, so he will tell Wang Chengen what he just said.

After hearing this, Wang Chengen couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.The reason why he is actively doing this is because he wants to strive for merit, and he doesn't want to be compared with Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

But since Du Yinxi said so, he didn't force it, and even took the initiative to say: "In this way, Mr. Du will choose some smart people to do this. When our family came here, we have already told Long Live Lord Now, I will send the deputy political envoy to come over and let her teach the people you have selected, so I can do more with less."

Speaking of this, he paused and added: "Lord Du is on the Shanhaiguan side, so I'm afraid he doesn't know the situation in the southwest. Our family can tell you that although the deputy envoy of Zhengtong is a girl, she has made a lot of contributions. Mrs. Sun wrote a letter to the Long Live Lord, saying that with the deputy envoy of Zhengtong, she can stand up to an elite team. She is definitely the first person in the promotion of government policies and national policies. The adults have set up health soldiers, and the effect is also very significant."

Hearing this, Du Yinxi couldn't help being overjoyed, and quickly asked about the details of the deputy envoy of Zhengtong in the southwest.

In fact, Wang Cheng'en didn't know much, but he knew that Chen Yuanyuan had done a good job in the southwest, and Sun Chuanting even praised him.Therefore, he told Emperor Chongzhen that if the southwest side was similar, it would be better to transfer to the grassland side.

But since Du Yinxi asked at this time, he picked up what he knew and said.

Chen Yuanyuan's achievements in the Southwest are mainly two: one is publicity, which is easy to understand and makes the reform and return to the Southwest much smoother;

The second is to help Sun Chuanting set up health soldiers, all of whom are girls from the Southwest Chieftain's territory, to take care of wounded soldiers and so on, so that the recovery rate of wounded soldiers is much higher.

When Du Yinxi heard this, he quickly said: "Okay, okay, thanks to the care of Wang Gonggong, there is also a lack of deputy political envoys here in Shanhaiguan!"

Although at present, Shanhaiguan has not taken the initiative to attack, and Jianlu has not come to attack; but it is obvious that the imperial court is going to recover Liaodong after all.Once the war starts at that time, it will be a big war.Among other things, the problem of injured soldiers has always been a big problem in the military. If it can be effectively solved, it will definitely make the coach very happy.

Wang Chengen was also happy when he heard his words, and replied: "This grassland strategy requires our sincere cooperation. You worry about things on the grassland, and we worry about things in the capital. We guarantee your satisfaction!"
