Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1715 Post-War Waves ([-]) Post-War Planning
The original meaning of the tribe name "Korqin" in Mongolian is "guards with bows and arrows".And "Alu" means "North" or "North", so it was named because the Ministry once stationed in the north of Muhangai Mountain.

From a geographical point of view, the "Alu Horqin" Liang Menglong said at this time belonged to the Eastern Hu, Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Xianbei successively in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods and Qin and Han Dynasties.During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was a Khitan nomadic land.In the Liao Dynasty, it was Shangjing Road Wuzhou.In the Liao Dynasty, it belonged to Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing.In the Jin Dynasty, Taizhou belonged to Beijing Road.In the Yuan Dynasty, it was the fiefdom of Yeluliuge, king of Liao Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, this place was initially under the jurisdiction of Tainingwei, Wuliangha, Huangshui. In the 25th year of Jiajing (1546), Kundu Lundai of the Aluhorqin tribe nomadic in the area of ​​Ergun River, Haihar River and Hulun Buir Lake. The No. 15 grandson of Habutu Hasar, the younger brother of Genghis Khan in Qing Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty, led his troops to relocate. It was originally named Alu Horqin, which means "Northern Archer".

So what is the relationship between this "Alu Horqin" and the "Nen Horqin" who has already defected to Ming Dynasty?In fact, the relationship is "from the same origin": the two were originally one, and the ancestral origins are all counted from this Habutu Hassar.

After the 16th century (that is, after 1501), the Horqin tribe moved southward as nomads in the Nenjiang River Basin, called the "Nen Horqin tribe", while the Horqin tribe that stayed in the original place was called the "Alu Horqin tribe", so the Alukorqin tribe is actually At that time, it was collectively referred to by the Horqin tribe who lived in Hulunbeier and later in northern Heilongjiang.

In other words, to a certain extent, the "Nen Horqin Division" can be regarded as a branch, while the "Alu Horqin Division" is actually the main division of the Horqin Division.

But this is only from the point of view of origin and flow. In fact, the development of the two tribes has already been divided into high and low, and the two tribes have long since passed their own. Even this nominal "master-slave relationship" has long been in jeopardy.

Originally, the two "Horqin" in the north and the south were all subject to the Chahar tribe at the beginning, that is, to the nominal Mongolian Khan or the Northern Yuan court.

However, geography can sometimes determine destiny.Because the Nenhorqin tribe was closer to Ming Dynasty, they took advantage of the degradation of Ming Dynasty's military power in the early years, followed Chahar, and together with Neikalkha and other tribes, invaded Ming Dynasty from time to time. Soup to drink.

Don't look at it as just a sip of soup, a sip of soup here in Daming is enough for Nen Horqin to quickly overtake Alu Horqin in strength.Later, the Nenhorqin tribe gradually became dissatisfied with surrendering to Chahar, and finally surrendered to Ming Dynasty completely not long ago because of highly pragmatic planning and intervention.

At the same time, because of the limited strength of Alu Horqin and the fact that they couldn't hold Daming's thick legs, they could only fall under the command of Tumen Khan.However, after all, Alu Horqin and Nen Horqin have the same origin, and Tumen dare not use them with confidence. Therefore, the Ministry is also a marginal person under Tumen's command, and has no sense of existence.

The Alukorqin tribe has less than [-] households, about [-] people, and only six or seven thousand soldiers available in wartime, definitely less than eight thousand.But the pasture they occupy is very good-everyone is familiar with Hulunbeier, so I won't introduce it.

Since the pasture is good, why is the population so small?Of course it's because of the cold!The Hulunbeier Prairie is near the northern part of Heilongjiang. Do you still expect them to raise people like the Jiangnan area?

Although the low-productivity Alukorqin people are good at animal husbandry, their population is not going to rise, and they often become suppliers of war horses to the Chahar Department. When leeks, cut round after round.

Under such circumstances, the centripetal force of the Alu Horqin Department to the Chahar Department will naturally not be strong.Therefore, in this super-large migration plan for Chahar to avoid the war and move westward, the Aru Horqin tribe was abandoned by Tumen Khan and did not take them with him.

However, the Alu Horqin Department itself didn't care much about this. They thought it would be better for Tumen to leave, because it would mean that there would be less exploiters overhead, and on the contrary, they would be more free.

The only danger appeared during the time when Li Rusong was rushing to Yu Yuerhai to set up an ambush.At that time, Alu Horqin's tribe thought that they were careless, but when they suddenly found out that tens of thousands of elites from Li Rusong's tribe were coming towards their territory, they were really frightened and fled eastward without saying a word.

While sneaking away, the Aru Horqin Department also made a plan: in case Li Rusong catches up, they will surrender without saying a word, and express their willingness to "move the family inward".

The cleverness of this plan is that, according to the practice of Ming Dynasty, once nomadic tribes request to "relocate the family", it is not something that Li Rusong can decide. Economical.In short, it was not Li Rusong who could "handle it cheaply" by himself, so that Alu Kerqin could at least save his life first.

But they didn't wait for this day, Li Rusong stopped when he arrived at Yuerhai, and An Anxin set up an ambush there, and then he left quickly inexplicably, leaving Alu Kerqin, who was relieved, chanting the blessings of his master , and then carefully return home.

They certainly didn't expect that although Daming seemed to ignore him, there were still people in the Ming court who remembered them--Liang Menglong directly gave them as prizes to the Nen Horqin Ministry for this plan, without asking whether they would like it or not.

In Liang Menglong's view, Daning and the surrounding large tracts of land that originally belonged to Chahar are the core areas that Ming needs to directly govern.Gao Yushi had discussed this with him a long time ago, and it was a key part of strengthening the strength of the Ming cavalry, and he would definitely not tolerate outsiders' involvement, even if they took refuge in the Nen Horqin tribe of the Ming Dynasty.

Didn't the three guards of Wuliangha voted for Daming very early on, and later they were given land, and their immediate bosses, King Ning and Dusi of Daning, were withdrawn. What happened to the three guards of Wuliangha who were left alone?Isn't it still returning to the Mongolian circle of influence!Therefore, both Gao Yushi and Liang Menglong believe that the core area must be controlled by pure own people, because only if they are strong enough, vassals will be willing to be vassals.

Gao Wushi did not discuss with Liang Menglong how to reward the Nen Horqin tribe at the beginning, because in essence, Gao Wushi believed that after the victory of cutting Yuan, the Nen Horqin tribe would not dare to make mistakes, and the issue of rewards could be determined according to the situation. Let's decide again.

It’s just that man’s calculation is not as good as heaven’s calculation. Now because of a series of other problems, Liang Menglong can only think about this for a while, because this is in line with a higher-level overall plan of high pragmatism.

The overall plan is simple enough to put it bluntly: divide and conquer.

The power of the Chahar tribe was expelled from Eastern Mongolia, which actually created a power vacuum. Even if the Ming Dynasty would replace it, the positioning of the Ming Dynasty and it was different.Here, Chahar can threaten the Nenhorqin and Yehe tribes, and even threaten or interfere with other Jurchen tribes.

As for Daming, at least it is not easy to make it clear that it will interfere with the Nenhorqin tribe and the Yehe tribe, two tribes that have already surrendered.The alliance between the Nenhorqin tribe and the Yehe tribe is very likely to be maintained because they are very close in strength, and they are afraid of fighting a wolf with a stick.

This is not in the interests of Daming: you two maintain an alliance, so how can I divide and conquer?What if the overall situation changes one day and you two join forces to backstab me?
Therefore, in order to avoid this from happening, conflicts must be created in advance.It's not impossible to think of other ways to create conflicts, but it's better to come early than coincidentally. When we talked about this issue today, Liang Menglong didn't care too much, and brought it up first.

According to his thinking, as long as the balance of power between the Nenhorqin tribe and the Yehe tribe is broken, there will inevitably be conflicts between the two.The reason is very simple, even if the Nenhorqin tribe is strengthened, it is impossible for them to dare to confront Daming who just defeated the Yuan Dynasty, so who can they bully?Of course it was the former ally Ye Hebu!

As for the marriage between Ye Hebu and Gao Situ, Liang Menglong didn't care.He has enough understanding of Gao Yushi. The reason why this great Situ married Ye He was to take advantage of him.

What's more, once Ye He is at a strategic disadvantage, he will only flatter Gao Situ even more, which will be of great benefit to Gao Situ.

Zhu Yijun stared at the Kanyu map hanging on the easel next to him for a while, and understood Liang Menglong's intentions, nodded and said: "Liang Aiqing's words are very kind, I think it is feasible."

After a pause, he waved his hands casually, and said: "Then tell the Nen Horqin tribe that the Alu Horqin tribe has committed many crimes by following the Tumen in the past, and the Yi people should have eliminated their evil. I think God has a good life Germany, the Nen Horqin tribe also has the merit of abandoning the dark and turning to the light. Because the two tribes have the same origin, the two Horqin tribes are considered to be one family. The Nen Horqin people should also carefully educate them in the future, so that the survivors of Alu Horqin will be blessed with the grace of the heaven, and the future will be good To do good with one heart is to be favored by heaven.”

This matter has no direct interest relationship with the elders of the pavilions, and they can't even see how much the Heshi School itself has much to do with it, so everyone's reaction is very consistent, Qiqi led the order and said: "My emperor is wise, and the ministers will obey the order."

Then Wang Jiaping asked again: "Your Majesty, since Nen Horqin is rewarded, will Ye He, Jianzhou Youwei and other ministries also reward him?"

Zhu Yijun hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The matter of Ye He and Jianzhou Youwei will be discussed after Da Situ returns to Beijing." Both of these two works were received by Gao Yushi back then, and Zhu Yijun felt that it was better to ask Gao Yushi for his opinion. It's safer to decide.Fortunately, Wang Jiaping was just asking, and he didn't have any clear opinions, so he withdrew after the emperor answered.

Seeing that no one else wanted to speak, Shen Shixing took over the conversation and said, "So, should we discuss Waikalka now? Can Lord Mingquan have some advice?"

"How dare you teach me." Liang Menglong said: "Wai Kalkha is located very far away, at least [-] miles away from the capital, and even farther away from Daning, more than [-] miles away, even if it is far away from Guihua The city is also two thousand miles away.

Such a distance, I am afraid that our officers and soldiers cannot be stationed permanently, otherwise it would be too difficult to provide for them. Even if there are only 30 troops stationed, the annual fee may be [-] million taels. "

"Did Situ and Liang Aiqing discuss this?" Zhu Yijun asked directly this time.Of course, this question is not afraid of being deliberately misunderstood by others. After all, Gao Yushi, as an economic minister, went out of the customs, and it was reasonable to discuss related matters with the chief minister and Liang Menglong, who was in charge of the Ministry of War before the war.

Liang Menglong nodded and said: "There have been some discussions, and there are generally three opinions. One is based on the fact that Abadai Saiyin Khan abandoned the dark and turned to the Ming Dynasty, and transferred to the Celestial Dynasty. The ministers at that time agreed with Da Situ and Da Sima. If there is such an opportunity, Abadai Saiyin Khan can be considered to continue to take charge of He Lin temporarily. Of course, it seems that this item does not need to be considered now."

Zhu Yijun nodded and asked, "Then what about the second one?"

"The second is to let the King of Shunyi directly govern him." Liang Menglong said: "The King of Shunyi has been loyal to him for more than [-] years, and his loyalty is commendable. Loss... If He Lin is handed over to him this time, I think Tumed will be more at ease in the future as my fence."

Xu Guo frowned slightly, and asked: "But if Tumed's power continues to expand, will there be a big threat to the court?"

"I have also discussed this matter with Da Situ and Da Sima." Liang Menglong pointed at the Kanyu map solemnly, and said, "Mr. Yingyang, please take a look. Now that Chahar is fleeing to the west, although it is uncertain where he will go, it should probably be He will settle down in the Western Regions and pasture. Now that Wala is split and Chagatai is in decline, I am afraid that they are not the opponents of Buri Hatu.

If Chahar revives in the Western Regions again, Gansu will suffer. If we still divide Gu Mobei at this time, it will be unsustainable.But if Mobei is given to Tumote, and there is King Shunyi in the north who can serve as a screen, then the imperial court can gather troops to fight against Gansu.In this way, my heavenly soldiers can retreat and stick to it, advance and go west, and attack and defend at my will. Why isn't it beautiful? "

Xu Guo thought about it, and seemed to think that the truth was right, so he nodded slightly and stopped talking.Zhu Yijun gave a soft "hmm", but then asked again: "Liang Qing said before that there were three assumptions, but now he only mentioned two, what is the other one?"

Liang Menglong's face straightened, and he said solemnly: "The third one is somewhat controversial. This one was originally proposed by Da Situ, but he also said that it is not easy to achieve this one, and it needs a good opportunity to spread it."

When he said this, Zhu Yijun became even more curious, looked at him with piercing eyes and asked, "Oh? Come and listen."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liang Menglong said slowly: "The third plan is to move the Ordos Department to Mobei Helin, and our army will be stationed in Hetao."

"what!"

"hiss……"

Everyone was surprised together, even Zhu Yijun gasped, and said hastily: "Recovering the Hetao... I'm afraid it will not be easy. How could the Ordos Department be willing to give up the Hetao and go to the bitter cold land in Mobei?"

"It is precisely because of the difficulty that Da Situ said that there must be an excellent opportunity to spread out." Liang Menglong sighed, and said: "It would be great if the last time Erdos supported Qi worship happened now."

Zhu Yijun understood the meaning as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help but regret, saying: "Yes, they made a big mistake last time. This time it is different. The Ordos Department cooperated with Tumote to send troops to the Northern Expedition, and has been staying in Shunyi King Under his command...it's not easy to handle." It seems that Zhu Yijun still has a lot of ideas about Hetao.

Liang Menglong suddenly smiled at this time, and said: "Don't worry, my lord, Da Situ had a follow-up idea about this before. Although the current situation is slightly different, this idea may still be applicable ...just may have to wait a few years."

Zhu Yijun was overjoyed, and quickly asked, "What plan?"
