Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1714 Post-war waves ([-]) Da Ning Dusi?

Zhu Yijun subconsciously leaned against the back of the throne, changed into a slightly more relaxed posture, and said in a deep thought: "What Mr. Wang said is not bad...In that case, I would like to ask you gentlemen to discuss. How should it be handled?"

Since it was a new topic, the first person to answer naturally had to be Shen Shixing, the Chief Assistant.Although Shen Shixing was Yuanfu, he was considered very young in the cabinet, and his reaction was fast enough. He immediately said: "Since we want to discuss the disposal of places outside the customs, I must ask you something first."

Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "Please speak, Mr. Shen."

Shen Shixing said: "It has been twenty-one years since I Da paid tribute. Now the left and right wings of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, Chahar, Tumed, Ordos, Inner Kharkha, Outer Khalkha, Nen Horqin and other tribes, They have all been wiped out, surrendered, or fled far away by me, and all the old lands of Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty, except for Wala, are in my hands.

That being the case, will Tumed and Erdos II still maintain the current tribute situation?Ah, what I mean by this is, should we just let them be attached to the world? "[Note: The Neikalkha Department is the general name of the Chaohua Department that was wiped out in the Battle of Southern Liaoning. The Chaohua Department was the most powerful family of the Neikalkha Department at that time.]
"Unification of the world" is actually very attractive to Zhu Yijun, but he can't agree to it now, because Gao Wushi had discussed with him before the outbreak of the war against Yuan.Regarding the post-war situation, there are actually several principled suggestions for high pragmatism, and this does not include the premature "unification of the world".

The reason Gao Wushi gave at the time was that it would take some time to digest and absorb the newly acquired grassland territory, and continue to strengthen the cavalry force of the Ming Dynasty.As for when the "unification of the world" can be implemented, Gao Yushi also made a relatively specific statement, that is, "when our Han cavalry is strong enough to overwhelm the Tumed and Ordos coalition forces."

At that time, Zhu Yijun still didn't understand this statement. He thought that even if the cavalry of Ming Dynasty could not do that, the powerful infantry phalanx of Ming Dynasty could completely defeat the two right-wing Mongolian coalition forces. Why did the cavalry have to be "enough to overwhelm" them?
Highly pragmatic explanation is: pressure is not for war, but precisely to avoid war.

According to his point of view, Ming now has sufficient economic control over Tumed and Ordos, but its military advantages can only be said to be half complete.Of course, the overall military strength has already surpassed it, but only if it maintains a tendency to crush it in the field it is best at, the Second Right Wing will completely give up the option of armed confrontation and obediently follow Daming's request.

Since it is necessary to rely on the old left-wing Mongolia to develop cavalry, it will obviously take some time, and the time is not yet ripe.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Yijun took what Gao Yushi said before as his own thoughts, and then emphasized: "Since I have waited for 20 years, I am not afraid of waiting for another two years. Gentlemen, it is better to unify the world when it comes to fruition than to stay behind." There are hidden dangers and dangers everywhere."

The emperor's words really made all the elders in the cabinet a little impressed. This emperor, who is less than [-] years old, has such a clear understanding of the general trend of the world when he has just achieved the great feat of destroying Yuan Yuan. , is truly astonishing.

Shen Shixing immediately knelt down, kowtowed and said: "My emperor is holy!" When he knelt, the others naturally couldn't sit still, so they all stood up and kowtowed, "My emperor is holy!"

To be honest, because of the rules and habits of the Ming Dynasty, there were not many opportunities for Zhu Yijun to enjoy the "gentlemen" kowtow, and it was even rarer to kneel and kowtow so proactively, so his self-esteem was instantly lost. great satisfaction.

It's a pity that what the elders of the courts did not expect was that Zhu Yijun remembered this "merit" in his heart again to Gao Wushi, and secretly said: "Father Emperor was right back then. Pragmatism is indeed a minister bestowed on me by God. He How much credit has been done for me!Besides, he was demoted and dispatched to the plagued land of Guangxi not long after he entered the official position. Speaking of which, it was because of me that he suffered the indiscriminate disaster of his mother's anger.Now that there is a foundation of Mie Yuan's great work, why can't he be rewarded out of the ordinary?
Hmph, join the cabinet?It's a big deal to join the cabinet, my father knew that he would join the cabinet... But even my father probably didn't expect that he would recover Annan, defeat Burma, and destroy Mengyuan for me, right?

"Gentlemen, please stand up and sit down." Although Zhu Yijun's thoughts were surging in his heart, there was only a gentle smile on his face. After all the elders stood up and sat down again, he continued: "Since the gentlemen don't object, then The fact that Tumed and Erdos Division [-] maintain the status quo is considered settled. Then what? Gentlemen, please express your opinions.”

Shen Shixing said: "The next point is actually one thing to put it bluntly: how to deal with the old lands of Chahar and Wai Khalkha. This is divided into two parts, one is what I want in the Ming Dynasty, or whether I want it or not. No; the second is which lands should be rewarded to the ministries who are recruiting."

Zhu Yijun's heart moved, he suddenly glanced at Wu Dui and Liang Menglong, and said with a smile: "One of the two lovers is in charge of the household department, and the other is in charge of the military department. This household department is in charge of money, food and household registration, and the military department is in charge of military equipment and garrison, which are most related to this matter. , I want to hear the meaning of the two lovers first."

Wu Dui glanced at Liang Menglong and said, "Northern Xinjiang is no better than other places, and military affairs should be given priority. Brother Mingquan invites you first."

Since he was one of his own, Liang Menglong casually said a word of humility, not too polite, and said to Zhu Yijun: "In my humble opinion, restoring the Daning capital is a top priority."

Zhu Yijun nodded lightly. Liang Menglong's words were reasonable, and they were consistent with Gao Wushi's pre-war analysis conclusions. The importance of the Great Ning Capital was beyond doubt.

This thing is really depressing.At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, in order to attack and eliminate the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty in the north, the Ming army launched more than one attack. For example, in the 12th year of Yongle, Cheng Zu personally led 50 horsemen to attack Oara Mahamu, and chased him to the Tula River (now Tula, Mongolia) River); in the 22nd year of Yongle, Chengzu conquered it himself, and returned to the Dalan Namur River in the northeast of Helin (now Khalhelin, Mongolia).

However, due to the long-distance march of the Ming army, which was far away from the rear, and the opponents were nomads, they were very mobile, so it was difficult to stay for a long time, and it was impossible to complete their achievements in one battle.

Although the Ming Dynasty was unable to occupy the places reached by every military operation, due to its strong strength, the northern boundary of Hongwu was still advanced a lot, and the Daningwei (located in the west of Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia today), Kaipingwei (located in the present-day Zhengzhou, Inner Mongolia, etc.) Blue Banner on the North Bank of the East Lightning River), Dongshengwei (located in present-day Tuoketuo County, Inner Mongolia), and Xinghe Institute (located in present-day Zhangbei County, Hebei) and other military garrison institutions.

In the 20th year of Hongwu, the Daning Capital Division was established, and in the following year it was renamed Beipingping Capital Division.The northern boundary of the Ming Dynasty in the west is on the line of Yinshan Mountains and Helan Mountains.

To the north of the Xilamulun River is the Wuliangha tribe. The Ming Dynasty set up three guards there, called the Wuliangha Sanwei.

In the first year of Jianwen, when Zhu Di, king of Yan, overthrew Emperor Jianwen and seized the throne, he contacted Wuliangha Sanwei for support. After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he renamed the Northern Parallel Capital Division to Daning Capital Division and moved it to Baoding Prefecture (now Baoding City, Hebei Province) ), the original jurisdiction was given to Wuliangha as a reward.

The left and right guards of Dongsheng also moved to Lulong and Zunhua in present-day Hebei respectively.In this way, Kaipingwei and Xinghesuo became isolated strongholds.In the 20th year of Yongle, Xinghesuo was captured by Mongolian Arutai and moved to Xuanfu.In the fifth year of Xuande, Kaipingwei also moved to Dushibao (now Beidushikou, Chicheng County, Hebei).

So far, the northern boundaries of the Ming Dynasty in today's Beijing, Hebei, and Shanxi have retreated to the future line of the Great Wall.

On the other side, the Hetao area was originally under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, but lost its support after Dongshengwei retreated, but Mongolia continued to invade. After Tianshun, it completely became the sphere of influence of Mongolia.

Jiajing once planned to regain Hetao, but failed.Therefore, the borders of the Ming Dynasty in today's Shaanxi, Ningxia, and Gansu are also bounded by the Great Wall in the north.

Of course, taking the Great Wall as the boundary is not absolute. Like the Liaodong side wall, the Great Wall west of Shanhaiguan (also known as the side wall in Ming Dynasty) was not necessarily built according to the territory at that time.Moreover, because the Tatars and Oirats were mainly nomadic, their strength also fluctuated. Sometimes they approached the Great Wall, and sometimes they retreated far away. Therefore, the actual control area of ​​the Ming Dynasty often went beyond the Great Wall. uncontrolled areas.

If we continue to look northwestward, in the early years of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty had acquired all the territory of the Yuan Dynasty in the northwest, that is, Yiji Nai Road (where the government is located in the southeast of Ejina Banner, Inner Mongolia today), Shazhou Road (where the government is located in today’s Dunhuang City, Gansu), Suzhou Road (where the government is located in today's Jiuquan City, Gansu) and Ganzhou Road (where the government is located in today's Zhangye City, Gansu) occupy the western part of today's Gansu and Inner Mongolia.But it didn't take long to abandon the west and retreat to Jiayuguan.

At that time, there were still seven Jumi guards outside the pass. Since Chenghua, Turpan in the west became increasingly powerful and annexed these Jumi guards. The territory of the Ming Dynasty was limited to the Great Wall east of Jiayuguan.

If we want to compare it with the Tang Dynasty, Daming's management in the southwest is worse than that of the Tang Dynasty, but it is obviously not as good in the north and northwest. In the northeast, that is, Liaodong, Daming is barely better.However, although the northeast and southwest are dominant, since ancient times, China's dangers have been more in the north, so the frontier military pressure of the Ming Dynasty is generally greater than that of the Tang Dynasty.

In Gao Yushi's view, a big reason for this was Zhu Di's inward relocation to the northern guard, among which the relocation of the Daning capital was the most serious.

Daning in the Ming Dynasty, Beiping in the Han Dynasty, Beijing in the Liao Dynasty, how important is their status?

It is in the hands of the Han people, just like this high-level pragmatic expedition to the Yuan Dynasty. The west, north, and east routes, whichever way you want to go, can be said to have strangled the hub of northern Xinjiang.Especially for the eastern part of northern Xinjiang, it is even more condescending looking down, enough to shock the territory of thousands of miles.

However, once Daning is in the hands of the nomads, it will be the outpost for the southern invasion of Han.In history, after Alta paid tribute, the Chahar tribe and the Neikalkha tribe committed plunder, and it can be seen that many times they went to Daning (the other part went to Liaodong).

And from another point of view, if Daning had always been in Daming's hands, Chahar's eastward relocation might not have happened at all.In that case, I might have to fight to the death with the Chahar Department in the early years, and Da Ming might just sit back and reap the benefits.

However, to some extent, Zhu Di had no choice but to relocate the capital of Daning.At that time, it was Ning Wang Zhu Quan who was guarding Daning. His political acumen could only be described as mediocre, but because he controlled the capital of Daning, he had Wuliangha Sanwei elite cavalry under him, and his military strength was quite impressive.Later, due to Zhu Di's military and political manipulation, the three guards of Wuliangha were loaned to Zhu Di, and made great contributions in the battle of Jingnan.

After the war, Zhu Di worried that after he proclaimed himself emperor in Nanjing, King Ning would not lose his tail, and he might even be able to replicate his way of seizing the country. Naturally, he did not dare to keep Zhu Quan in Daning, so King Ning moved to Jiangxi and was put under his nose stare.So Wuliangha Sanwei picked up a big deal, turned over as a serf and sang, and directly obtained Daning and the surrounding areas as pastures.

Since Daning was rewarded to the three guards of Wuliangha, the rest of the guards in northern Xinjiang lost their core support, so they couldn't hold on one by one, so they had to move inward one by one, and finally became what the above said that virtue.

After the Battle of Monan, Gao Wushi regained Daning and insisted on stationing troops in Daning.At the beginning, this plan was almost aborted because Tumen sent troops to attack the supplies of the Ming army.

Later, relying on his own face, Gao Wushi borrowed Tuotuo Qiataiji's troops from Tumote to go east and stationed between Daning and the Ming army's side wall. This was considered to have blocked Tumen's black hand .Then the Ming court continued blood transfusions and vigorous construction, and then rebuilt the new Daning City, and once again firmly extended its hand to the north of the Great Wall.

However, even so, Daning City alone is not enough. Only by taking down the entire Chahar, can the Ming army use this large pasture as its own pasture to train horses and strengthen cavalry.Otherwise, there is only one Daning City, and if you go out of the city to raise animals, you have to worry about Tumen killing them all the time, so you still need to cultivate a ball?

Liang Menglong's current point of view is obviously that the Daning capital should be re-established, and the entire Eastern Mongolian grassland should be re-controlled-roughly the old land of Chahar, or maybe a little bigger, which is equivalent to the eastern part of Inner Mongolia in later generations.

Since his point of view is basically consistent with Gao Wushi's pre-war analysis, Zhu Yijun wanted to agree immediately, but Xu Guo suddenly interrupted and said: "The reason is good, but if the old land of Chahar is restored to the capital of the Great Ning Under his jurisdiction, what kind of reward does Horqin want? Speaking of which, they have no credit but also hard work this time, and the number of troops sent by them is... [-] to [-]?"

Zhu Yijun didn't speak when he saw this, he just looked at Liang Menglong.Liang Menglong seemed to be prepared for this, and said: "It's easy to handle, just give them the name of conquering Alu Horqin."
