Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1225 The minister is going to be an official

Zhu Yijun had reason to worry, after all, the origin of this incident was indeed an accident in his opinion, and the important thing was that the accident happened at a very unfortunate time.

In order to defeat Chahar in one fell swoop, Daming is now in the process of accumulating the final strength, so he has opened the ban on the vassal, and it is very difficult to open the ban on the vassal. The optimal solution, so Zhu Yijun gave his full support, and even cut the military's salaries across the country.

If these three years can be passed safely, it is conceivable that the Ming Dynasty at that time would be able to temporarily get rid of the unfavorable situation of financial distress, and could concentrate its efforts to conquer the remnant forces in Chahar and achieve the long-cherished wish of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.And Zhu Yijun, the emperor of Wanli, did not dare to say that he was on par with Taizu, at least he could also be on par with Chengzu's great achievements.

As a young emperor, what could be more exciting than this?
It is a pity that although the battle of Gao pragmatism in Monan was very good, it also created a Burihatu. This person emerged when his father Xin Ai was in extreme danger, and was eventually taken in by the Tumen and became Tutu. The mastermind they now rely on.

It is really a hero born in a troubled time. If there is no battle in Mo Nan, perhaps the Taiji who is not the eldest son of Burihatu will be lost to everyone.

Gao Wushi always suspected that Xining was not that simple.The reason is not complicated: Burihatu is so highly valued by the tutu people that it should probably be regarded as "not to be separated for a day", but even so, he still traveled thousands of miles to reach Qinghai by detouring Mobei. Is it just for the sake of Flickering Huo Luochi and Shili Rabbit?

The strength of Huoluochi and Zhulitu is probably considered to be at the upper-middle level based on Jinghua's internal intelligence, and together they can have 5 people.

This strength is indeed not weak, but if we have to say it is strong, it is not necessarily strong. After all, their strength is the addition of the two, and the second is that they all need to be mobilized.If you look at it separately, the two of them have a total of more than [-] people. At best, they are only the level of the previous year's fried flowers, and they may even be worse.

If there is no such thing as checkmate, it would be very difficult for Burihatu to win them over, because not only is the eldest brother of the two of them, but he is also very powerful and dominates the Hetao—more than the nominal Erdos Ministry of Ten Thousand Households The lord, Jinong Boshuoketu of the great Mongolian country is still strong.

With all the suppression, there will be no chaos in the Ordos department. Huo Luochi and Shilitu are afraid that Tumut and Ordos will join forces, and they do not dare to easily agree to Burihatu's win.

But once everything can't be seen, this situation will be shaken immediately. It is likely that Burihatu saw this, so he went west to Qinghai. He wanted to use Huo Luochi as a breakthrough, not only disturbing Qinghai and Gansu, but also disturbing Qinghai and Gansu. He may even want to use this disaster to attract the east and pull the Ordos Department, a loyal ally of Tumet, into the water, resulting in a situation where Tumet is either enemies on the left or right, or loses his arms.

No matter how Hannaji is chosen in the end, Burihatu or Tumen Khan can benefit from this matter - when the enemy declines, he becomes stronger.

Gao pragmatically estimated that the time when Burihatu chose to travel west should be the time when he was sure that he would die of serious illness.I have to say that his grasp of the situation is quite accurate, because Qiejin Huangtaiji is really an important figure in maintaining the master-slave relationship between Tumet and Ordos.

At that time, he could ask for tribute on behalf of Ji Neng after the success of Altan's tribute.To this end, he made hard efforts to ask for tribute, and achieved success. He also received the affirmation of Wang Chonggu and the reward of Daming.

Longqing Xinwei (1571), Ji Neng dispatched Qi Quan to "please pay tribute to the city to compare the publicity and the greatness", and Qi Quan did his best to express himself.In the middle, "Most of them feel that Xu Alda has awarded Wang Tonggong's grace, and Gu Ci has many references to Buddha's language."Wang Chonggu "made it look like an answer in order to advance. I will do my best as promised."

Therefore, Wang Chonggu "wishfully wrote the table to welcome the imperial edict, accumulating more credits, so please reward the color section, etc.", and the edict was ok.Immediately afterwards, Zhaoqie went to Qingshui Camp to award the award, and Naiwangque kowtowed to thank him.

This shows that from a long time ago, Qiejing was the tribute faction in the Mongols, and it was the person who actually presided over this matter within the Ordos Ministry.

Another point that Gao Wuzhen had thought about after learning of Xining's loss was the impact of his strength on the relationship between Ming and Mongolia.

Undoubtedly, the strength of Quejin is indeed second to none in the Ordos Department. He "has a vision of one set, and he has a strong opinion, and he is important." have a significant impact.

In the past, Tuman "gathered [-] households and formulated great regulations, instructing Namu Da and Huang Taiji of Chahaner [[-] households], Weizheng Subuhai of Hanha [[-] households], and These people are in charge of the laws and regulations, such as Namdala, Holuochinayan of Aso [Department], and Namuang, Tralik, and Huangtaiji of Tuman [Wanhu].” [Note: The translated names of Mongolian historical books used above. ]
In other words, when Mongolia was in power at that time, the one sent by Altan to Chahar was his Xinai’s eldest son, Tralik, who was Altan’s eldest grandson (he went on behalf of his father Xinai), while the Ordos Ministry sent It is Qijin, which shows that at that time, Qijin was second only to Ji Neng in the Ordos Department.

However, does the exhausted strength pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty and the peace of Ming and Mongolia?Gao pragmatically recalled that whether he was traveling westward or returning to the east, he tried his best to restrain Buyi, and used strict discipline and means to restrain Buyi. He himself would definitely not threaten Daming.

"Jineng's death will hurt the world's father day and night, and it is urgent to deal with the funeral. On the aisles, all take the precaution of rushing."

"In the second month of Renshen (1572) in the spring of the second month, everything was done by stepping on the water and beside the edge... So I wrote a letter to the ministers, roughly saying: 'I don't dare to violate the imperial prohibition and go to Montenegro. As a result, the horses and cattle were exhausted, but the Grand Master felt sorry for me, and promised to open the market for me, dare to compare the fire to the red?'... Commanding all the ministries not to rob or violate the Han, and ordered to set up the camp immediately.

So, going from Wuyakou to Heicheng, before reaching the ancient city of Caocheng, he left two horses, and the guerrilla Zhu Xun envoys chased after them.And the prisoners also burned down the four rafters of my Wujiazhuang earthen house, cut up and punished forty sheep, set up a flag, and punished the sheep with four legs.Naturally, what was lost by the Han prisoners was punished as usual. "And bound the members of the public, and obeyed the admonition." "

Gao pragmatically recalled the records of the crimes over the years, but he could not find any records of all the crimes.That is to say, it is a sincere tribute to abide by the agreement for the rest of your life, and it is by no means "mistaken for tameness".

This kind of tameness that has been consistent for more than ten years cannot be pretended - such as Huo Luochi and Shilitu, they have been recorded in the past, even after the tribute, they were cut off. After passing down the book and rebuking him, he restrained himself, until this time he was seriously ill.

Moreover, Gao Wushi is different from Zhu Yijun. Zhu Yijun probably does not consider issues such as deep-seated culture, but Gao Wushi has always supported the Mongols to worship Buddha as early as when he advocated for tribute.In the matter of worshipping Buddha in Mongolia, Xie Jing is also a very important figure.

There is a saying in the historians of later generations, which is to say, "I will do everything I can to welcome the Buddha."This statement is even supported by historical data in "Wanli Wugong Lu". The biography of "Wanli Wugong Lu·Qiejin Huangtaiji Lie Biography" has an account, saying that as early as the year of Renshen (1572), Qijing once went to the west to travel to the west. Fuchen Liao Fengjie asked for items such as scriptures and Buddhist beads, indicating that he had believed in Tibetan Buddhism at this time.However, in the eyes of the officials of the Ming Dynasty at that time, all "non-loyal, sincere and good Buddha" were avoided.In the year of Ding Chou (1577), he tried his best to "trick" Alta to lead his army westward to welcome Buddha, in fact, to provoke disputes between Ming and Mongolia by reaching Suzhou and Xihai.

There are some problems with the statement in "Wanli Wugong Lu", which is probably because the officials of the Ming Dynasty did not trust the "tartar" very much during this period. In fact, Huang Taiji is a faithful believer of Tibetan Buddhism.In the process of leading an army into the Qinghai area in the late Jiajing period, he came into contact with three local eminent monks and brought them back to the Ordos Department. The "Origin of Mongolia" records the process of introducing Buddhism in detail. [Note: This record is too long for me to cite. ]
So, at that time, the reason and purpose of Altan's westward advance was passive or active, whether it was a true belief in Buddhism or an intention to invade the border?Gao pragmatically believed that he really believed in Buddhism.

Because in fact, the origin of Altan Khan and Tibetan Buddhism has been established since the Jiajing period.It can be found in historical records that in the 37th year of Jiajing (1558), when Alda Khan went to conquer the Sari Uighur (yellow-headed Uighur), he met and captured some Tibetan businessmen and more than 1000 lamas in the West Sea, and then released them .

However, in fact, the Mongolian right-wing ministries had gone to the West Sea many times before, and the first time Altan Khan personally led troops to the West Sea was in the 11th year of Jiajing (1532).Even with the "Biography of Altan Khan" as the standard, before the 37th year of Jiajing, Altan Khan still had three expeditions to the Xihai area, namely the 11th, 13th and 22nd year of Jiajing, so this time in the 37th year of Jiajing, It's actually the fourth time.

If it is said that Altan Khan did not encounter Buddhist monks and temples before his expedition, it is probably unrealistic and absolutely unbelievable, but these activities have not been found in historical records. After all, Mongolian documents are relatively rough and leafy, and cannot be compared with Chinese documents. Compare.Therefore, Gao Pragmatism can be sure that Altan Khan came into contact with Buddhism before the 37th year of Jiajing.

Of course, Altan's detailed understanding of Buddhism should have been in the fifth year of Longqing, or the first year of Wanli, but Altan Khan's belief in Buddhism was not the result of being completely deceived. This is also recorded in the "Biography of Altan Khan". Not much to say here.

All in all, Xiejing is definitely a faithful believer of Buddhism, and Altan and he contributed to the great event of Tumote and Ordos converting to Buddhism at the same time.So for Gao pragmatism, it is very important to maintain the policy set by the best, which means that he must prompt Daming to help Tumert in this matter.

"Although the loss of Xining happened suddenly, in the final analysis, it was Burihatu's plan, and the key to this plan of Burihatu is not in the fire, focusing on rabbits, nor in Xining." Gao pragmatic said solemnly: "The real key to this matter lies in the Hetao!"

Zhu Yijun looked at him intently, and Gao pragmatically stretched out his hand to point to the map, and said, "Your Majesty, look, from west to east, Qinghai, Ordos, Tumet, and Chahar. These four forces, Chahar was originally alone. In the east, if Burihatu wants to disrupt the interior of Tumut, only one Qinghai is not enough.

The two prisoners of Huo Luochi and Zhangli Rabbit are no more than [-] people. If the Hetao is not chaotic, at most it will be the disease of ringworm and scabies in the western border of the Ming Dynasty.Your Majesty, I will make the worst assumption - if I, Daming, let Xining be lost, what will the situation be like? "

Zhu Yijun frowned slightly and said hesitantly, "This...is it a little embarrassing?"

"It's just an assumption." Gao pragmatically emphasized.

Zhu Yijun said helplessly: "Then leave it alone for a few years, and let all parts of Gansu be careful for a few years, and then we will talk about it after we destroy the residual yuan."

"That's right." Gao pragmatically nodded and said, "Without Xining, I would definitely be harassed in the northern foothills of Qilian Mountain in the past few years, but it is impossible for Buri Hatu to stay in Qinghai for a long time to advise Huo Luochi and others, so he Once it returns to the east, all parts of Gansu can still be prevented as long as they are careful. Even if there will be some losses, it will not be fatal to the overall situation.”

He paused for a moment, then said, "Once the Ordos clan is in chaos, things will get serious. As I said just now, once the Hetao is in chaos, Tumet will have to make a choice, or go south to the Hetao and regain control of the situation. , but it is very likely that the Tumen will attack Fengzhou Beach.

Either stick to Fengzhou Beach and give up the Hetao, but in this way, Tumut will be completely isolated.If Burihatu makes persistent efforts and persuades Boshuoketu (Mongolian Jinong, the lord of Wanhu of Ordos) and Tumen to attack Tumote, then my efforts for more than ten years in Daming may be in vain. "

Zhu Yijun's face was sinking like water, and he was silent for a long time, and said, "What's your idea?"

Gao pragmatically said: "It's better not to happen if Tumet's southern expedition happens, because even if everything goes well, it will be a civil war, and it will damage the strength of Tumet and Ordos - Your Majesty, these two The power is now at least subordinate to me, Daming, and it can also be used to check and balance or even threaten Chahar."

Zhu Yijun waved his hand: "I know this, the problem is that I can't help you right now!"

"We can still be of some help." Gao pragmatically shook his head.

Zhu Yijun said in surprise: "Really, how can you help?" Then he immediately added: "Don't tell me the soldiers, that won't work, it will delay the big event."

Gao Wushi smiled slightly: "The retracted fist is the most deterrent." After speaking, he made a gesture of clenching his fist and retracting it.

Zhu Yijun couldn't help but think about it, "You mean... let's set up a suspicion array to scare the tutu?"

Gao Wushi laughed when he heard it, and said, "It's not just to scare Tumen? I thought it would be best to scare everyone except Tumut!"

Zhu Yijun's eyes lit up, and he got excited and asked, "How to scare you?"

Gao Wushi suddenly stood up and bowed his hands solemnly: "Your Majesty, this minister is going to be an official."

"Ah?" Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment: "You want an official?"
