Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1254 Borrowing a Knife
Where does this dawn come from?in the palace.

At the time of the Mutiny in Ningxia, King Qing's mansion was broken down. King Qing (the old King Qing had passed away, this was the heir but not yet sealed) escaped because of his young age and was hidden by his mother in the cellar, but King Qing's mansion was in Ningxia. The property, property, gold, silver and other things that belonged to them were looted by a party of worshippers.

This money was originally intended to be used as capital for the party to recruit troops, but later because the city of Pinglu could not be conquered for a long time, Zebai and others worried that they would lose their way, and spent a lot of money to persuade Bosuo Ketu to act as its strong. aid.To this end, Qibai not only promised Boshuoketu the Huama Pond, but also gave him the gold and silver that he got from the Qing Dynasty Palace.

Gao Wushi had heard this news a little before, but it was not very conclusive, and it was even less clear how much property was shaved from the Qing Dynasty's mansion, but now Yilduqi told him the answer.

Although the situation of the Qingwang Mansion’s real estate that remained in the hands of Xiaobai and others is unknown, the total value of the gold and silver that Bo Shuo Ketu obtained alone is as high as 1407 million taels. For those antiques that Bo Shuo Ketu didn’t understand, Bo Shuo Ketu only knew that there were “a total of nineteen large carts” of these antiques.

This news really shocked Gao Yushi. A well-known rich man like Jinghua may not be able to come up with nearly 150 million taels of cash anytime and anywhere in the Northwest. More wealth is actually reflected in various places. In addition to real estate, commodities, and goods, it is really astounding that so much cash can be looted from a mere Prince Qing's mansion.

But Gao Pragmatic thinks about it carefully, and it seems to be understandable.King Qing's branch is not a "rising star". The first king of Qing was called Zhu Wei, and some of them were recorded as Zhu. He was the No.16 prince of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, named Ningzhen and Ningzhenzi.

Ming Hongwu Wuwu, that is, Renwu in the first month of the 11th year of Hongwu, was born in Yingtianfu.In August of the third year of Zhengtong, he died of illness at the age of 61.After his death, he was buried in the tomb of King Ming in Weizhou, Tongxin County, Ningxia.After Zhu Wei's death, he was given the posthumous posthumous title of "Jing" by Yingzong—this is a posthumous posthumous posthumous title, which probably means that he has made great contributions to the country's fence.

The first King Qing came to Ningxia in 26 years.If the salary is not enough, they are ordered to be stationed in the ancient Weizhou city in the north of Qingyang, and Yan'an, Sui, and Ning rent taxes. In the 28th year, the king was ordered to manage the military affairs of Qingyang, Ningxia, Yan'an, and Suide. The mansion was built in 30 years.

According to the official records of the imperial court, "Wang is fond of learning and writing, and is loyal and filial by nature. When he became a good ancestor, he sent Suiyi to Weizhou to spend the summer. At the beginning of Xuande, he said that Ningxia was poor and wet, the water and spring were bad, and he still lived in Wei for begging. Just like when he became an ancestor. At the beginning of the orthodoxy, Shi Zhao, the chief military officer of Ningxia, played Wang Ju's frontier affairs, occupied the pastures of Lingzhou, and sent envoys to return from the grasslands of Suide, inciting the natives. Buy the celestial document. Zhu Wei is suspected of doing it. After three years of writing the letter, please emigrate to the country to avoid Zhao.

The main meaning of the whole paragraph is that this King Qing did not like Ningxia and wanted to move inland to Weizhou, but he had not been approved.Later, he was reported by the Ningxia General Soldier, saying that he was occupying grasslands, parading troops, building weapons, and buying documents—meaning he was suspected of rebellion.

Therefore, in order to avoid the chief soldier, and at the same time to prove his innocence, King Qing asked himself to move in.At this time, it was already the Yingzong Dynasty, and the imperial court's repression of the vassal kings had been relaxed a lot compared to the Chengzu period, so Yingzong did not agree, so the Qing king's lineage remained in Ningxia.

Whether the first Qing King ever thought about rebelling is irrelevant now, but there is a clue here that is worth noting, that is, as early as the first Qing King period, the Qing King Mansion had the behavior of "occupying the grassland".

The pasture itself is worthless, but the pastures of the early Ming army were used to raise horses. Qing Wang’s occupation of the pastures was definitely not for enjoying the natural scenery of the prairie. They either raised cattle, sheep or horses, but no matter what, because In fact, this person has no signs of rebellion, so he must be occupying the grassland to make money - in other words, the first generation of King Qing has already started business activities.

Eight generations have passed since King Qing's lineage, and the current generation of "King Qing" who is about to inherit the title is the ninth generation. King Qing's mansion has spent 200 years of money. strangeness.

According to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, of course, the property of the vassal king must be properly protected. Since Gao Wushi defeated Boshuoketu and even captured everyone, then the money in Boshuoketu's hand should of course be used as The "dirty silver" was recovered, and then returned to the Qing Palace as it was.

However, Gao Wushi obviously did not intend to follow this practice - what would he do for Qing Wangfu?The opening of the ban by the imperial court did not harm the interests of the princes, and the money returned to King Qing was nothing more than continuing to raise pigs.Instead, why not take it and do something more meaningful?
As for the future livelihood of King Qing's mansion, there is no need to worry about that at all, because Gao pragmatic can only take away the floating wealth that can be obtained from Boshuoketu, the fields and real estate of King Qing's mansion, etc. Still have to give it back to him, there is no way that Qing Wangfu will starve to death.

However, this floating money can’t be taken away and it’s over. There are many possible troubles, and it’s best to prepare for it in advance.For example, after the war in the future, when King Qing Shangshu asked the court to return the money to him, he had to have an explanation himself, and he had to let the court have an explanation, otherwise he would be very passive.

There are two easiest ways. One is to directly declare that you don’t know the money or where the money went; the other is to openly say that I have collected the money and will spend it on the three sides of Shaanxi. military.

The first way, if there is no accident, of course it is excellent, you can spend whatever you want, but the trouble is that it is unlikely that there will be no accident, King Qing lost nearly 150 million taels of silver, can he keep silent?Not to mention the virtues of these lords, even if it was him who was highly pragmatic, he couldn't bear it. Such a large sum of money disappeared for no reason, how could it be possible not to make a fuss?
And as long as there is a commotion, this matter will definitely not be hidden, because there are too many people who know about it. Now a lot of people in Boshuo Ketu's department know it, and Ilduqi also knows it. There are more Ming Jun know.Even if the money is going to be spent in the future, it is impossible not to explain where the money came from. It is a well-known situation. How to hide it?Can't hide.

So this way doesn't work, you have to look at the second one.

The dirty silver was confiscated in an open and fair manner, and then used in the military affairs of the three sides of Shaanxi. In theory, it seemed to occupy justice and justice, but in fact, things were not that simple.

This is the Ming Dynasty, not the Red Dynasty. It is impossible for Gao pragmatism to persuade people with the principle of "the masses of the people are above everything else", and few people will listen.Although it is said that "water can carry a boat and capsize it", the amount of money cannot rise to this level, because it is the private property of the Qing Dynasty's mansion - Daming may not have said that "private property is sacred and inviolable", but it does not mean that there is no such thing. This kind of thinking, especially under the premise that the owner of the property is still the prince of the royal family, is even less likely to invade and occupy it at will.

Judging from Zhu Yijun's performance, we can see that in a world governed by filial piety, the relationship between "kiss" belongs to the relationship between the clan and the emperor, and not even the emperor dares to ignore it. Therefore, although the royal family can suppress the military power of the clan, they dare not move easily. Their property - what's the matter, you emperor is reluctant to even give the same clan a bite to eat?
No one who is an emperor can't bear this sentence, otherwise, when Gao pragmatically loosens the ban on the vassal, why is a lot of space spent on solving the problem of the survival of the suzerain?Didn't he dare to provoke this kind of sectarianism, and he didn't dare to let the emperor take such a big blame.

For this reason, direct collection is not easy to handle, and another way has to be found.

When he came back to his senses, Gao pragmatically praised Ilduqi, but found that Ilduqi didn't seem very happy. He rolled his eyes and understood the reason.

Gao Wushi laughed and said, "General Ilduqi is disappointed because he didn't show his military might in this battle?"

Ildu sighed unhappily and said, "Yeah, I thought I could fight a battle and get some credit, so I would be better off going back to Abu... er, explain to my father, who would have known that Boshuoktu was taken away. Uncle Tuo's words frightened me... alas."

Gao pragmatically smiled and said, "You have already made a great contribution to this battle, General."

"What is this?" Ilduqi shook his head and said: "Shutai does not know, this credit may be counted in Daming, but in the eyes of us Mongolians, it is not counted, Mongolians count as war merits, they must be awarded It only counts when the battle is actually won. The last will take this feat and go back and tell Abu, Abu might be able to drive me out."

Gao Wushi laughed and said very intimately: "So that's the case, the head office understands. However, it is actually very easy for you to make military exploits, General, it's just..."

"Just what?" Ilduzzi asked quickly.

Gao Wushi sighed: "I'm just afraid that the general will not want to..."

After all, Yilduqi was not a fool, so he moved in his heart and asked tentatively, "What does Shutai mean... is to let the last commander go to fight Ningxia?"

Gao Wushi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Ningxia? Hmm... what does the general think?"

Ilduqi opened his mouth slightly, but stopped talking.

Gao pragmatically said with a smile: "If the general has anything to say, you can make it clear. Although once the headquarters announces the military order, it is indeed not negotiable, but it is usually not the case. Everything is negotiable."

Yil Duqi smiled wryly and said, "It's not that the general wants to negotiate, but the 47 warriors under the general's command are all cavalry, so I'm afraid it's not easy to go to Ningxia... Ningxia is surrounded by the Great Wall and Xiongguan Pass, and Inner and Outer Shuangcheng and Fort [-]. Don’t be afraid to say something taboo, if the last general’s department has this ability, Ningxia City should have been owned by the Ordos Department at least decades ago.”

Oh, that's true, if the Mongols were really able to take down these fortified cities and docks, they should have been taken down long ago when Altan Khan was the lord of the North, so why do we need to wait until today?
Gao Wushi smiled when he heard it, and didn't care about his "offending", but nodded and said, "What the general said is reasonable, but the headquarters did not plan to let the general kill Ningxia Jiancheng."

"Oh?" Il Duqi was a little surprised, but when he remembered being highly pragmatic, pragmatic and scheming, he couldn't help but think differently, and asked in surprise: "The last general has heard for a long time that Shutai is the most intelligent person in the world, could it be that? Is there a way for Shutai to trick Dabai out of the city to fight in the field?"

Gao Wushi didn't know when he became "the most intelligent person in the world". It is estimated that the Mongolians misunderstood the meaning of "Zhuangyuan", but this is not the key, he just shook his head slightly: "There is no such thing in this department for the time being. This kind of consideration is not a question of whether it is possible, but the battle of Ningxia should not be played like this."

This is a new thing, how does it make a difference?Ilduqi even forgot about his own affairs, and said in surprise: "Why? Oh, the last commander said... Then how to fight?"

Gao pragmatically said indifferently: "Don't count, beat it hard."

Ilduqi looked stunned, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Why is this?"

Gao Wushi smiled softly, showing a coldness indifferently: "Because I want some people to take a look, no matter what the fortress is, the soldiers of tomorrow can conquer it."

Ilduqi froze in his heart, thinking that Gao Shishi meant to warn himself or other Mongolian leaders, but he thought it was wrong.

What Gao Wushi just said was "no matter what kind of fortress", but there is a fart fortress in Mongolia?Even if Hannaji's naturalization city or Daban is promoted, it is obviously far from being a fortress in front of Daming's city. The target of Gao Wushi's remarks is obviously not Mongolian. .

But if not Mongolian, who else could it be?There is Myanmar in the south. It is said that there was a lot of riots in the past few years, but it was cleaned up by the Ming Dynasty last year; there are Jurchens in the east, but the situation of the Jurchens and Mongolians is not much different, although some stockades are also called "city" , but that thing counts as a fart in front of Daming?Obviously, there is no such thing as a "fortified castle".

It seems that only the Daming family can talk about the fortress of the fortified city. What's going on?

In fact, Il Duqi guessed right. The object that Gao Wushi was referring to was actually in Daming, but he did not clearly refer to any vassal king who might raise troops to rebel or make a commotion in the process of opening the ban. All of them were the targets of Gao pragmatism's warning through the Battle of Ningxia.

Ildu thought about it for a while and didn't understand, but since it wouldn't be referring to the Mongols, he didn't bother to think about it all the time, and turned back to mention his own matter: "Since the battle of Ningxia does not require the assistance of the generals, I don't know the end. Where can I find this exploit?"

Gao Wushi smiled and said, "Naturally, I went to look for brothers Huo Luochi and Jili Rabbit."

Ilduqi suddenly realized, and immediately asked, "Where are the two of them now?"

Gao Wushi pointed to a pair of military newspapers on his desk, and said, "I just received the news today that they sent troops ten days ago, and they have already forced Nianbo's defenders to retreat eastward, and are now attacking the area under the jurisdiction of Zhuang Langwei. West Datong River Fort."

As a member of the Tuobu, Ilduqi is no stranger to the situation near Zhuang Langwei. If Uncle Nian has been lost and Huo Luochi is attacking the Xidatong River Fort, it means that the "corridor" of Daming leading to the Western Regions It is already in danger - the width of this passage is not even a hundred miles, and it may break at any time.

This really is a good place to do meritorious service!
"The last commander is willing to go!" However, Ilduqi still has a big question that must be asked clearly: "But if the last commander goes to Zhuang Langwei, this command..."
