Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1255
Ma Gui and Tuotuo returned to Ixibal one after another to see the supreme and pragmatic line.

According to the pre-war agreement, in this battle, the bodies of the people who died in the Ordos group belonged to the Ming army;

Since the Ming army only needs the corpse, it can be dragged away on a horse, while Tuotuo has to find a way to control this large number of prisoners, which is much more troublesome. Therefore, the Ming army sweeps the battlefield faster than the Tumut side. Ma Gui It is also earlier than Tuotuo to return to the highly pragmatic Jinglexingyuan.

As for the follow-up, it is also simpler for the Ming army, and more complicated for Tumut.

The Ming army only looked at the head when it came back, and after it was dragged back, the head was cut off, and lime and other materials were used for "disinfection" and "preservation" treatment. , not much trouble.

It is more troublesome for Tumet. They have to arrange various issues such as control, food, accommodation and other issues for the prisoners of the Ordos Department. Although Gao pragmatic and generous let them take over the "loading" of the Ordos Department at the same time, it is well known that the so-called luggage of the Mongolians is actually Very few, and "military rations" are actually mainly related to the cattle and sheep carried by the march.

Although cattle and sheep do not need "transportation capacity", they run much slower than war horses, so Tuotuo has to send people to grab them in the direction of Huamachi - the cattle and sheep of the Ordos department are still behind.In addition, to guard against the escape of prisoners, disturbances, etc., Tuotuo also had to rearrange the layout of the camp, etc. In short, it was very time-consuming, and it was more than an hour later than Ma Gui before he arrived at the high pragmatic Xingyuan to report the details of the battle. Happening.

In fact, Ma Gui had already reported the battle situation clearly at this time, and Gao pragmatism did not need to retell it again. Therefore, the famous Mongolian general just made a brief statement, and then moved the topic to the issue that everyone cares about. How to do?
Chataiji had some headaches and said: "To be honest with Shutai, the development of this battle is somewhat beyond my expectations. Originally, according to the meaning of the Great Khan, I mainly came to cooperate with Shutai to defeat Boshuoketu, and then brought Boshuoke alone. Tu himself went to Guihua City to question him. However, at the moment... at least [-] to [-]% of the main force of Boshuoketu's Jinong headquarters has been wiped out. I am detaining so many people now, and it is not appropriate to deal with them. Rare."

If possible, Gao Pragmatist would of course want to say, "Since it's embarrassing, you might as well give it to me." Unfortunately, this is definitely impossible, and the Tumuts would probably not agree even if they were crazy.

And if you really want to do this, the internal balance of the Ordos Department will be completely broken. Even if the power will definitely decline for a while, it seems to be good for Daming, but it is impossible for Daming to eat the Hetao now, then the family will dominate after that. If it is not possible, the cut-off department will take the opportunity to unify Ordos.

This itself is also a situation that Gao pragmatism wants to prevent, so he can't let the Boshuo Ketujinong headquarters really collapse, and may even give them a little help.

"General Tutuo seems to think that these 3 captives are now hot potatoes in your hands, and it seems inappropriate to deal with them?" Gao Wushi smiled and said, "Then what is the general's initial intention?"

Tuotuo smiled bitterly: "What kind of intentions can I have? This is the Jinong headquarters. I am just a Chataiji, and I would never dare to swallow it, otherwise it will be regarded as a rebellion by all Mongolia. They took them to Tumt—Jinong Headquarters has the responsibility to protect the tomb of Genghis Khan, and if they take Tumt to Tumt, in case the big sweat can’t help it… eh, the big sweat can’t afford this crime at that time.”

Genghis Khan was almost equal to a god in Mongolia, and no one dared to take him seriously, and even dared not disrespect his mausoleum.

The name "Ordos" comes from the ancient Turkic language, meaning "Khan's palace and mausoleum". It can be seen that their existence is to protect the mausoleum of Genghis Khan, so even if Jinong changes people, it is a trivial matter, but his However, the branch headquarters must not be tampered with, otherwise it would be disrespectful to Genghis Khan.

Tuotuo was worried that Han Naji could not help annexing the main force of Jinong Headquarters, and that was the reason, because once he did that, he would give the Tumen an excellent excuse to claim that Han Naji disrespected Genghis Khan - just by analogy. It is equivalent to saying that Zhu Yijun is not surnamed Zhu at all, and the consequences can be imagined, even the rationality of the right of inheritance is lost.

But since Han Naji can't do anything to them, it will be a burden to bring these people back to Huacheng. If Tuotuo is really brought back, Han Naji will definitely be unhappy, and he will feel that he has also received a hot potato. on hand.

After hearing this, Gao Wushi asked, "According to Mongolian customs, what should we do at this time?"

Chataiji said: "Father dies, son succeeds. If Jinong dies, or is unable to perform his duties for other reasons, of course his son will take over."

Gao pragmatically asked, "Does Boshuoketu have a son?"

"That's the trouble. Boshuoketu has only one daughter and no son yet." Chataiji said with a wry smile: "Besides, even if he has a son, it doesn't matter. He is only 21 years old. How old is his son? How can he manage it?" Huge Ordos million households?"

Gao pragmatically said: "So according to Mongolian tradition, is it time for Hatun to be the regent at this time?"

"That's right, but it's more troublesome here. Boshuoktu's Dahatun died in childbirth at the end of last year, and there is no Xinhatun yet." Chataiji, looking like he had a headache, spread his hands helplessly and said: "So Hartun Regent can't find anyone."

Gao pragmatically asked again, "Is there any other options?"

"Yes, yes..." Chataiji frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then only the minister will take the regent temporarily, but generally speaking, two ministers will take the regent."

Gao pragmatically asked calmly, "If this is the case, who can be the regent in the Ordos department?"

"At the moment, there are just two people." Chataiji still frowned and said, "One is to cut all Huangtaiji, and the other is Mangguschu Gukeldai Hongtaiji." [Note: Huangtaiji, Hongtai Ji, Hongtaiji and other words mean the same. ]
Gao Wushi thought for a while and said, "I'm not familiar with the latter one. Who is he? His name seems to be somewhat similar to Ilduzzi's younger brother Chukuke?"

"The similarity is just a coincidence. This person is Boshuoktu's youngest uncle." Chataiji explained, and then asked: "Shutai should remember our Mongolian tradition, and the youngest son guards the stove - so Gukeldai is He holds a lot of military power, and even this time he went on an expedition with Boshuoketu. The veteran I mentioned just now who reminded Boshuoketu many times is Gukeldai."

Oh, so that's what happened. No wonder that person wasn't even afraid of Boshuoketu's anger. He didn't expect him to be Boshuoketu's uncle, which is understandable.

Gao pragmatically said: "General Tuotuo thinks these two are inappropriate?"

Tuotuo hesitated a little and replied, "Actually, I'm not very good at this, but Gukeldai is the main supporter of Boshuoktu and should be very tough. If he is the regent, I'm worried about the Ordos Ministry. I'm afraid there will be troubles. As for all, he is a good candidate, but unfortunately he is very ill now, and I don't know how long he can last. If he ascends to heaven soon, I'm afraid there will be another turmoil in the Ordos Ministry. , doesn't seem right."

As soon as Gao Wushi heard it, he knew that Tuotuo was really bad at this kind of thing. In fact, neither Gukeldai nor Xiejing were suitable for regent, but the reason was not as Tuotuo thought.

Tuotuo said that Gukeldai is the main supporter of Boshuoketu, which should not be wrong, but he supported Boshuoketu at the beginning, I am afraid a large part of the reason is due to the fact that the strength that was exhausted at that time was actually Already stronger than Boshuoketu.In this way, as the son of Jineng, in order to ensure the dominance of their large branch in the Ordos Department, he can only help Boshuoketu, so as not to be exhausted and become a "big one".

However, if Bosoktu himself loses power or freedom for some reason, in order to ensure that the power of the sect is not lost, he may not only be satisfied with the co-regent with Chejing, but may consider taking control of Bosok by himself. Figure "legacy".

The reason is very simple, what he masters is his own headquarters, and his Gukeldai is only to control the headquarters of Khan Court on behalf of Boshuoktu. The word "dai" means lack of authority. Originally, after this battle, the strength of the Khan Court Headquarters was obviously overtaken. Now that the authority is still insufficient, wouldn't his regent be completely suppressed to death?In the long run, who will be the master of the Ordos Department?
So he's going to have to figure out a way to change that, and the easiest way to change that is for him to take power outright.

However, this kind of seizure of power itself is risky, and the success or failure is unknown. A slight failure may lead to the direct chaos of the Ordos Department - this is obviously not what Gao pragmatic wants.

Gao pragmatic does not want Ordos to mess up. He just wants to maintain a basic balance within Ordos and maintain a situation where both parties must find ways to gain the support of Daming. This is the best situation for Daming, and the Ordos department is also easy to control and increase penetration.

On the other hand, what about becoming one of the two regents?Tuo Tuo thinks that it is a good thing to be the regent in itself, and the only thing to worry about is that Che will die of illness as soon as possible.

There are also problems with this idea.Of course he is a pro-Ming Ming faction, there is no doubt about it, but his prestige in the Ordos department is already very high. In recent years, he has finally entered the "rebellious period of youth" because of Boshuoketu, and began to sing against him. So the prestige has declined to a certain extent.

If this time everything becomes regent again, and even pushes Gukeldai, then the situation will return to ten years ago.However, Daming at this moment is not the Daming of ten years ago. Daming ten years ago needs to do everything possible to firmly control the Ordos Department so that there will be no chaos. At this moment, Daming not only requires the Ordos Department to be free from chaos, but also requires that no one family in the Ordos Department is independent. big.

Why?Because in Gao Pragmatic's view, Daming's targeting of all Mongolian ministries, regardless of whether they are close or distant, will ultimately unify the universe, but this unification of the universe does not necessarily require war to be enforced.

For example, the parts of Tumet and Ordos who have accepted the tribute, and the overall relationship with the Ming Dynasty are relatively relaxed and close, they can completely rely on the penetration and influence of politics and economy to achieve their goals. This kind of unification also has a social foundation. Repeated easily.

Then, after Qijin maintained the overall situation of the Ordos Department in the early days of the tribute, he has actually completed his historical mission, and he no longer needs a strong man like him to control Ordos.Erdos now needs "decentralization" and a situation of "various factions competing for the favor of the Ming Dynasty", so that it is convenient for the Ming Dynasty to gradually divide and disintegrate, gradually control them secretly, and gradually Chineseize them one by one.

Therefore, neither Chejin nor Ilduqi are suitable to serve as regents. This regent should be another person who has a high status, but does not have the possibility to unify the interior of Ordos.

Of course, Tuotuo is not good at politics, but it is good news at this time, because it is convenient for Gao pragmatism to intervene.

Gao pragmatic pretended for a moment, and then slowly said: "General Tuotuo is right, since Gukeldai is a hawk - oh, I mean, since he is a hardliner, it is indeed not suitable for the regent, so as to avoid In the future, he will disagree with Chechen Khan, and Hetao will not obey orders again, which will be somewhat troublesome to me, Daming.

As for Qiejin, he is one of the few great wise men in the Ordos Department, and the name of Chechen Hongtaiji is worthy of the name (Note: Chechen, which means wisdom and wisdom in Mongolian language, is the name of Kutuktai in Mongolian historical books. Chechen Hongtaiji).However, the general army also said that he is seriously ill now, one is afraid that he will not be able to assume the heavy responsibility of regent, and the other is that in the event of his death, his son Ilduqi..."

When Gao Wushi mentioned Ilduqi, his expression seemed a little hesitant.

With a move in Tuotuo's heart, he asked, "Shutai is worried that Ilduqi will be unfaithful?"

Gao Wushi didn't answer immediately, and after thinking for a while, he shook his head slightly: "I'm just a little worried about this, but the more important thing is that this time he helped me defeat Boshuoketu, and Gukeldai himself was captured because of this. I'm afraid I am extremely dissatisfied with Ilduzzi. As for Ilduzzi, as you can see, he also seems to be a little warlike... If these two are both regents, in case of a fight in the future, it will be good for Daming, yes It's not a good thing, whether it's Tumert."

It was only then that Tuotuo remembered that there was such a "possibility", and he was shocked, and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, this is not a good thing, Erdos can't be messed up any more! , while distracted to take care of the situation in Ordos, isn't it asking for trouble?"

Gao Wushi nodded solemnly, with a worried look, but his heart was full of joy.

If Lao Tzu's political opponents are all at the level of Tuotuo, then the world will be auspicious, but it is a pity that Shen Shixing's level can get off the seven or eight streets, alas... It is more difficult for the Han people to play politics. These are old monsters who have turned into spirits.

Tuotuo was a little hesitant when he saw Gao pragmatism, so he couldn't help but get anxious and asked anxiously: "What should I do, I just did a rough count just now, and the prisoners at hand are in the early [-]s. It is estimated that there may be between [-] and [-] troops of the Bosuo Ketu Empress Army, so what should I do with so many people?"

Although today's battle seems to be grand in scale, because the main battle is just an ambush and a short-term confrontation, the real loss of the Ordos Khan Account Department is not large, it is estimated that it is about [-] at most, so Tuotuo's anxiety is It makes sense, he may really have around [-] prisoners on hand.

Gao Wushi pretended to think for a while, and then he finally tried to see it. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and said, "Ah, I have thought of the best candidate for the regent."

Tuotuo was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Who is it?"

"Taihu Hantong - Taigale Jungenhatun."
