Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1229 The Three Dao Khan Orders Urge the Master

During the Yunnan-Burma War, Daming relied on the Yunnan War Treasure Banknotes to obtain stable military pay under the financial difficulties, and finally successfully defeated Burma, and obtained a lot of benefits including reparations.When this incident was reported to the Tumen by Burihatu at the time, the Tumen was really surprised for a long time. It turns out that the battle can still be fought like this?
However, Burihatu said that this style of play was actually done by the Mongolians all the time, but because the fighting styles of the two sides were different, it would be more surprising when it was changed to Daming.

Tumen was surprised and asked when did we do this too?Ben Khan never asked his subordinates to borrow money, horses, bows and arrows.

Burihatu said calmly: "Every time the Great Khan harassed Mingbian, didn't he use the income from threshing grass to motivate his subordinates and make them willing to follow the Great Khan to send troops?"

Tumen was stunned when they heard the words, and after a while, they said, "So he actually learned from us?"

Burihatu shook his head and said, "It's hard to say whether it's like we did, but it's basically the same method."

Tumen sighed: "It is not a good thing for Mongolia to have such a person among the Ming people."

"Who said it wasn't." Burihatu also sighed slightly, but immediately added: "But his hand is useful for Myanmar, but not for us Mongolia."

The Tumen heard the song and knew the elegant meaning, laughed and said with their palms: "Yes, there is actually no difference between Burma and Daming. The infantry is the main force in fighting, and they also rely on farming for food, but they are no different than our Mongolians who live by water and grass. If you want to use this hand to deal with Ben Khan, it will be of no use, because he can't grab anything. This vast grassland is vast, and it is not something that they can hold in Ming Dynasty. It is useless, who is willing to pay for it? "

These conversations took place after the Ming Dynasty defeated Myanmar last year, and it was not too long ago, and Tumen remembers it very clearly.But now, when Gao Wushi took office as the Seven Towns Jinglue and announced that the Jinglue Xingyuan would be located in Daning City, he became a little uneasy.

Gao Wushi has too many ghost ideas, who knows if he will come up with some crooked ideas temporarily?

Moreover, the geographical location of Daning City is indeed too terrible. Now that there are only 39 to 44 troops, I dare not move easily, lest the army leave Chahanhot for a little longer and be attacked by the Ming army in Daning City. The old nest—it’s not like this happened before. In the [-]th year of Jiajing, the Ming army went out of the fortress suddenly, and burned Tumot’s Daban Shengcheng. The current Daban Shengcheng is Jiajing [-]. Newly built in the year.

Dabanshengcheng can be burned, but Chahanhot can't be burned?Although Li Chengliang didn't burn last time, it was obviously not impossible for him to burn.Burihatu once analyzed this incident and believed that Li Chengliang did not burn Chakhanhot because he "went in a hurry" as he reported to the Daming court, and it was not because he forgot, but because he did not burn it on purpose. The reason is that The so-called "bringing bandits with self-respect" - he was afraid that he would beat Chahar so hard that the court felt that Mongolia was no longer anything to fear, thus affecting his status and interests.

Therefore, since Daning was stably controlled by the Ming army, and especially the re-establishment of the guards along the line leading to Daning City, Tumen felt that his life was very difficult, as if someone pointed a knife to his throat every day. I can only watch it carefully, and I don't dare to act rashly, so much so that I don't even dare to hit the grass.

Of course, this kind of feeling is very uncomfortable, because Mingren not only used Daning's knife to his throat, but also used Jinshi's rope to wrap his neck, making him slowly suffocate.

The only thing that is fortunate is that although Daming has a powerful high-level pragmatist, he finally got a conspiracy master Burihatu.

Burihatu offered two ways to deal with this. One is to learn from Tumote and start to cultivate farmland in areas suitable for planting, so that the Mongolians no longer fear the white disaster and the black disaster, but can obtain Some stable food to supplement itself, at least to survive these natural disasters.

The second is to think that the office can obtain materials for Daming through Erdao traffickers. Of course, it mainly refers to the Jurchens here.Whether it was Hada before, Yehe later, or even Jianzhou Left Guard, who is now thinking of actively contacting Buri Hartu, the Chahar Department tried every means to do business with them.

Even if you know that the materials obtained from the Erdao dealers will definitely cost a lot more than doing business with Daming directly, but as Burihatu explained to him: First of all, it is better to have something than nothing, especially the materials of cloth and silk. This is a necessity. Although Chahar is also trying to grow cotton by himself, the current level of utilization is still very poor. The cloth that can be used still has to be obtained from Daming; secondly, it is not terrible for Jurchen to benefit from it, even in a certain To a certain extent, it is a good thing for the Mongolians.

At that time, the first reason was immediately understood by the people, but he did not understand the second reason, so he asked Buzhihatu a question.

Burihatu explained: "The ancestor of the Jurchen is gold, and in the eyes of the Ming people, just like the Mongolians, they are a group of people who are not of our race, and their hearts must be different, so the Khan does not want it. It is just an illusion that most Jurchens are really in the same mind with Ming people, the reason is that the Jurchens are too weak to challenge the Ming Dynasty.

Dahan might as well think about it, is the attitude of the Ming people towards the Jurchens one thing on their lips and one on their hands?It is said that as long as the Jurchen departments are obedient, Daming will give various preferential treatment such as city rewards, but in fact?
Ha, it's just that someone has become stronger, and Daming will try to find a reason to fight - Gao pragmatically killed Yehe Er Baylor, did those two Baylors do something wrong?No, it's just that he is powerful, and he just coveted the edict that Daming had given to Hada before, but what's the matter with Daming?They said they were going to fight Daming? "

This is a bit of an exaggeration, because Ye He's two Baylors were indeed less obedient to Daming at that time, but... using "attitude to be obedient" to decide whether to fight or not, it seems a little lack of reason.

However, this is not the case. The reason for this move is completely sufficient from the standpoint of Daming, or from the standpoint of the Celestial Dynasty that has been consistent for thousands of years: if you are disrespectful to the Celestial Dynasty, the Celestial Dynasty can of course attack it. Other reasons are needed, because in the eyes of the Celestial Dynasty, this kind of war is "injustice by the sky," and it is a completely just move, and it is definitely not an apprenticeship.

But from the standpoint of Tumen or Mongolians and Jurchens, Daming's actions are very domineering: why am I born that "unjust", and you will always be just?
Interests determine positions, and positions determine attitudes.This saying has always been true throughout the ages.

However, in any case, the Tumen understood what Brihattu meant.What he meant was actually very simple, that the Jurchen made money from it, and it was not a bad thing for the Mongolians, because once the Jurchen became strong, it would naturally become a threat in the eyes of the Ming people, and Daming would definitely have to work hard to crusade.

It doesn't matter to the Mongols who wins and who loses the Ming and the Jurchen. As long as the Ming people's war power can be consumed, it is good news for the Mongolians. Burihatu really has a sharp eye and can see clearly. .

Therefore, due to the vigorous strengthening of agriculturalization and commercialization, although Chahar has been strangled by Daming, not only has he not been suffocated, but he has even recovered little by little.

Perhaps it is in view of this, or perhaps Burihatu is not satisfied with this, in short, Burihatu is still planning new actions day and night.

The Mongols are not afraid of being beaten passively, but in the final analysis they don't like being beaten passively, so Burihatu carefully planned a plan to disrupt Ming's plans before he took the initiative to send troops.

Daming's "West Huaidong System" is actually an open national policy because of the relationship between the newspapers, so the Tumet people have not worried about what Daming thinks about them since the success of the tribute. Similarly, the Chahar people also know Daming's goal has always been them.

Although the Di Bao did not mention when to send troops to attack Chahar, but according to Burihatu's analysis, the only thing that limited this was the issue of army salaries.In other words, when the Ming people finish the major event of "opening the ban" at hand, they will be enough to collect the army's salary for sending troops to conquer Chahar, and it will probably not be far from the official sending of troops.

Whether Chahar can avoid being conquered by hundreds of thousands of troops depends on whether his plan can be successfully implemented.

So Tumen Khan expressed full support for him without saying a word. Even if Burihatu said that he would travel thousands of miles to Qinghai in person, Tumen did not say much, but told him to ensure safety and to return as soon as possible.

But now, Daming suddenly pushed Gao Wushi, the most dangerous enemy in the eyes of the Tumen, to the position of Qizhen Jinglue, and he was sure that Jinglue Xingyuan would be set up in Daning, of course the Tumen would be nervous.

In the eyes of Tumen, this may mean that there is a deviation in Burihatu's idea. Daming is either not short of money, or he has thought of another way to get money.All in all, they seem to be getting their hands on it now!

After the Battle of Monan and the Battle of South Liaoning, Tumen was actually a little afraid of being beaten by Gao pragmatic, so after "thinking about" the above reason, he still felt unsafe after thinking about it, and he simply issued another urgent order, requesting Burihatu returned to Chahanhot immediately after receiving it.

The next day, another news came from the Tumen's sweat tent, which was about Gao Pragmat's request for the Imperial Guard and the seven towns of Jiliao and Xuanda to conduct spring exercises.

Tumen Khan, who had fought with the Ming army for most of his life, was also confused when he heard the news, because he knew the style of the Ming army's dispatching troops, and he also knew the "work and rest time" of the Ming people.

The Han people are a farming civilization and have always been the most concerned about solar terms, and almost all activities are carried out around the seasons.On the whole, the seasons are divided according to the four seasons: spring plowing, summer cultivation, autumn harvest, and winter storage.

Among them, spring ploughing and autumn harvest are the biggest things in the world, and it must not be delayed, because when something like farming is missed, it will be missed, and there is basically no way to make up for it.If we miss the agricultural season this year, not only this year may not be able to survive, but next year will be even worse, and it will be difficult to think of a way to tide over the difficulties.

Therefore, during the two periods of spring ploughing and autumn harvest, there are usually no large-scale military operations, and all major events must make way for crops.

During the period of "Winter Tibet", the impact may be relatively small in the south. It is still possible to use troops when it is necessary to use troops. For example, in Guangxi, you don't have to think too much about it. If you want to fight in winter, you can fight.

Not to mention in southern Xinjiang, it is winter when Huangzhi Ting hits Cambodia. Is it different from other four seasons?Oh, maybe the monsoon wind direction is a little different, the southeasterly winds have been replaced by the northwesterly winds, but the other difference is almost nothing.

However, in the north, the difference is very big, especially in the past few years, the north seems to be getting colder and colder. Even the Mongols are reluctant to run around in winter, not to mention the Ming army whose logistics is ten times more complicated than that of the Mongols. ?Therefore, the Ming army will definitely not go to Saibei in winter. No matter how powerful Gao pragmatic is, the Tumen do not believe that he can violate it.

Therefore, in fact, there are only two time periods when the Ming army can send troops: one is the period when the spring ploughing is over and the autumn harvest has not yet arrived, and the other is the period when the autumn harvest is over and the winter storage has not yet arrived.

The two periods are separate, and each is not too long, only about two months, and even if it is delayed a little, it will not exceed three months at most.

The implication is that the military operations of the Ming army to go to Saibei usually cannot exceed three months - it may be possible in the early Ming Dynasty as in the Yongle period, but the situation is different from the current situation.In the Yongle Dynasty, not many military households fled, and the military households in front went to war, but there were still people in the family who could do farm work, and there was no shortage of his labor force.

Tumen's attitude towards Gao Pragmatism is different from that of the officials and people in Daming. He was really beaten by Gao Pragmatism in the head, so he would rather "look at" Gao Pragmatism than look down on him.Therefore, in the eyes of Tumen, if Gao Wushi, the Seven Towns Economic Strategy, wants to send troops, I am afraid it will not be delayed until after the autumn harvest, but should be sent out immediately after the completion of the spring ploughing and spring exercises.

As for the truth, Tumen thinks he sees it: Gao Wushi did not step down from his post as Rongzheng Shilang.

Different from the views in Daming, Tumen thinks that the reason why Gao Wushi did not step down as the Rongzheng Shilang is very simple, that is, his seven-town economic strategy is actually a very temporary dispatch, and the temporary arrival is only a few months, so his This position does not need to be resigned.

The emperor's use of him should be mainly in the work of the military and political servants - the reform of the Beijing camp cannot be hidden from Buri Hatu, and the Tumen are of course well aware that this matter has a great impact on the Ming Dynasty.

In this case, Tumen became suspicious about the "Spring Cao": Could it be that the Spring Cao was just a false shot, and Gao Wushi was actually using the "Spring Cao" to numb himself, but at that time, it suddenly happened during the Spring Cao. Launch an attack to catch yourself off guard?
In view of the high level of pragmatism and many tricks, the more Tumen thought about it, the more suspicious it became, and they calculated the time, from the messenger to Qinghai, and then to Burihatu receiving the Khan's order to detour back, I am afraid it will take one or two. Yue... Oops, not much time left for him, not much time left for Ben Khan!
The self-proclaimed shrewd and wiser Tumen Khan quickly acted - first without saying a word, then send an envoy, with his third Khan order, requesting Burihatu to return immediately after receiving the order, not for a moment hold up!
