Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1720 Post-war Waves ([-]) Unexpected
Although Gao Gong was already in power when An Da paid the tribute back then, he did not cover the sky with one hand.In fact, at that time, the entire Practical School was just a small political group in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, and it was far from being able to control the court.At that time, the Practical School relied heavily on Gao Gong's own status. It should be said that it was only an upper-level faction, and its foundation among middle- and lower-level officials was relatively weak.

This leads to a big problem, that is, even if the top-level political decision has been made, it will be offset by intentional or unintentional confrontation at the implementation level, or at least it will be delayed until there is no further action.

Of course, the Practical School also knows about these situations, but because of their limited strength, they can only focus on some key issues, keep follow-up on major issues, and supervise their implementation.As for other things that have less significant impact, or are not so direct, it is inevitable to turn a blind eye to them. This is the so-called "grasp the big and let go of the small".

There is no doubt that the tribute itself is a major event, and the two most critical elements in this event are "truce" and "tribute market". The less important issue of "Shunyi King Seal" is inevitably neglected.

As a result, the King Seal of Shunyi was tampered with by some officials who objected to the tribute to Al Da. The gold-plated copper seal was indeed vandalized.

It is difficult for any reform to satisfy everyone, and the rise of any political group cannot be achieved overnight. This is an objective reality.Although the Practical School at that time could effectively influence Emperor Longqing and allow him to approve the casting of the seal, but the process of casting the seal was out of control, and it was naturally not clear what was finally created.

As for the fact that Tumed discovered the problem and started a commotion, the Practical School of course knew it too.However, if it is clear, it may not be easy to solve - if you admit it honestly, wouldn't it expose Daming's own internal problems and the lack of control of the real school over the government?
This influence was obviously very bad. In the absence of real full control of the government, even though Gao Gong was already the chief assistant of Gu Ming at that time, he didn't want to make a fuss.

Fortunately, at that time, Tumot had been kidnapped by Daming's economy, and the military also found that Ming was getting more and more stubborn. After receiving Zheng Luo's "explanation", he could only take the fake seriously, and swallowed his anger and did not continue to make trouble. .

This delay has passed for more than ten years. Now that Chahar is gone, Tumet has become the best part of the Mongols. In addition, Han Naji believes that he has made a lot of contributions this time. Should be able to change a seal worthy of his status to show his political achievements, so he found Gao Pragmatism-the whole thing is like this.

There is a question here. Is the material of King Shunyi's seal really that important?The answer is yes, this matter is really important.

The Shunyi King Seal is a symbol of the power of the Shunyi King, so the importance of the King Seal is essentially based on whether the throne is important.

Is King Shunyi's throne important?Extremely important!Because the "King of Shunyi" has one of the most important powers for right-wing Mongolia: the right to decide the city of Gong.

Here is a brief review of the tribute process and the power system of the King of Shunyi that Gao Wushi made great efforts at that time: In March of the fifth year of Longqing, Emperor Muzong Longqing officially issued an edict to confer Altan Khan as the King of Shunyi, and rewarded him with "big red five-harvested silk" Once you wear the python clothes, you can pick up the eight exteriors and interiors of the section."Afterwards, Alta Khan's elder brother Du and Zi Huang Taiji were appointed as the governors and acquaintances, and 61 leaders including Bintu Taiji were given command, thousands of households and other officials, "all have edicts".

After some preparations, on May [-]st, the Shunyi King Conferment Ceremony was officially held at the Hanging Matai outside the Desheng Fort in Datong. Altan Khan gathered his subordinates, and a huge crowd went to participate.

The situation at that time was: "A factory was built nine miles outside Desheng Fort. The factory was three feet wide and used wood poles, fifty bolts of blue silk for the hall, twenty bolts of red cloth, twenty bolts of green and green cashmere, handkerchiefs and sweat towels. Forty squares, fifty mats, one hundred hemp ropes, four colorful pavilions, and twenty pairs of colorful flags. A yellow curtain is set up in the atrium, and incense is offered.

In the early days, the barbarian envoys Daerhan and Kehan ​​went to the office to practice rituals.After that, I went to the shed with great fanfare.The governor of the capital is Bi Hongci Fortress, moved to deputy commander Zhao Boxun, Guerrilla Kang Lun, and the imperial edict Twelve Ways, and gave me a python suit, which is pure in appearance and inside, all of which are called lion clothes.

On the 21st, I Da led the barbarians to welcome the imperial edict, and there were four people who kowtowed to the south.Already, the Han officials copied Huang Kai and read it. After that, I will thank you and take off your hat and kowtow four times.The barbarian ritual is to take off the hat and kowtow as respect. "

As a result, Altan Khan was officially canonized as King Shunyi of the Ming Dynasty.This canonization further consolidated the position of the lord of the Tumed Department as the right-wing co-lord.

After the canonization ceremony, Altan Khan, the king of Shunyi, who had already been impatient, immediately presided over the affairs of the tribute market.He sent Jineng and his nephew Qiejin Huang Taiji, who were familiar with the Buddhist scriptures of the Han Dynasty, to write the table, and then, together with Lao Badu, Xinai Huang Taiji, and Ba Hannaji, etc., presented the table and paid tribute to the horse.

"Five hundred and nine tribute horses, 64 upper horses, a pair of silver-plated autumn bridles and saddles, and [-] people who worshiped the ancient times, including the barbarian envoys pulling cloth and Polo Busan table cloth. Very obedient, still owed to the text.

Chonggu, even if the books made by the Han Dynasty were corrected, such as table facts, list facts, etc., and the table boxes were sealed for inspection.Because of the feast of the barbarian envoys, Fayang and the city residence.Choose forty horses of blue, white, red, yellow, silver and jujube horses. They will be inscribed with coat color and tooth age.Nine of the 460 tribute horses were sent out three times. "(Note: From "My Answer Biography II")
The Ming Dynasty rewarded the price of horses, rewarded Alda Khan and others, as well as Yiyi, silk satin, cloth coins, etc., and gave Alta Khan an order.From then on, Altan Khan presided over the exchange of tribute between the Mongolian right wing in Monan and the Ming Dynasty as King Shunyi.

At the beginning of "Alta Conferring Tribute", Daming bestowed the seal on Alta Khan to "use his power to restrain the tribes", and gave him the power to take charge of the tribute market.This power is very remarkable, because it stipulates that the three tributes of Xuanda and Hetao should be written and played by the king of Shunyi; all rewards should be received by the king of Shunyi, and then forwarded to the leaders of each department; During the tribute period, the king made a request for a memorial, and then the Ming court dealt with it as appropriate; every tribute market, the king of Shunyi had to pay first, and then the imperial court allowed the market to open.

In addition, according to the Ming-Mongolian Agreement, the King of Shunyi formulated his own relevant laws and regulations, and the tribesmen who violated the Gongshi in Mongolia would be punished by the King of Shunyi in accordance with the Mongolian law.

In this way, on the one hand, because the King of Shunyi held the power to exchange tribute with the Ming Dynasty, possessed the title of the king, and held the seal of the king, it meant that the King of Shunyi completely controlled the power of tribute.

In the original history, "in order to control the power of city rewards", the reason why Tumed fiercely fought for the right to inherit the throne of Shunyi was this-the economic foundation determines the superstructure, and the power of the city is actually Tumed's economic foundation. Ah, who can not be jealous?
On the other hand, as the person in charge and moderator of the Mongolian side of the Gongshi affairs, whether the King Shunyi can succeed in succession is directly related to the maintenance of the Ming-Mongolian-Pinggong-shi relationship and the stability of the border defense of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming court in history or the Ming court in the present world has actively exerted influence on King Shunyi's heir, and even directly intervened.

For example, the outbreak of the Battle of Monan was actually caused by Gao Yushi's forcible intervention in the heirship.To be honest, we won the battle at the time, so everything is easy to say.In case of losing at that time, Gao Yushi, the person who is directly responsible, would probably lose his skin even if he did not die.

Now as the Chahar tribe flees far and west, the situation on the Mongolian grasslands has undergone tremendous changes, and Tumed has in fact become the most powerful force in Mongolia.At this moment, it is obviously reasonable for Han Naji to wish to strengthen King Shunyi's legitimacy.

Gao Wushi not only agreed to Bahanaji's request, but also informed him to go south quickly and head straight for the border.Although this incident happened suddenly, the highly pragmatic decision was not only quick, but also had several considerations.

The first consideration is that today is different from the past, and the situation that Gao Gong worried about more than ten years ago has changed.Although the Practical School still cannot cover the sky with one hand, the power of the entire faction is far stronger than before. Not only is it deeply rooted in terms of political ecology, but its allies are also stronger, and the relationship is more stable than before.

At this time, Gao Yushi, as the party leader in the practical sense of the Practical School, had already dared to lift the cover that was covered back then, and even gave Hannaji justice.

The second consideration is that Gao Wushi suddenly decided to take this opportunity to let Ba Hannaji accompany him to Beijing, because he found that this is a multi-purpose thing.

Although the "Golden Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty" is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty in name, it has actually always had a very high degree of autonomy from the beginning of the "founding of the country" to the conferment of King Shunyi, and to the current administration of Han Naji. There is no explicit regulation, but it is actually considered an external domain, not an internal attachment.

If Hannaji can be rewarded in Beijing, it will further change the relationship between the two parties and make the "Da Ming and Jin Kingdom" more like an internal dependent country, and second, it can strengthen the merits of cutting Yuan this time—you Look, I not only dealt with Chahar, but also almost completely surrendered with Tumed.This means that Ming can declare to the whole world: the entire Tatar Mongolia is my territory of Ming from now on!
In addition, Gao Pragmatism has a third additional consideration, that is, Han Naji now leaves Helin and goes south, and Helin is handed over to Erdemutu.Gao Pragmatism didn't want Erdemutu to engage in any conspiracy, but to let him take the opportunity to exercise his ability, and he could also take care of him by the way.

There is still a difference between Mongolia and Ming Dynasty. The status of the crown prince of Ming Dynasty is as stable as Mount Tai depends on the system, while the Mongols are not so stable in this regard.To a certain extent, its system is the continuation of customs, and this is only one aspect. On the other hand, it depends on personal strength. Apart from inheriting the father's inheritance, part of this strength is one's own prestige.

Erdemutu stayed in Daming territory for a long time because of his apprenticeship with high pragmatism in the past few years, and the connection with Tumed's hometown has weakened a bit.Although Hannaji's direct lineage, that is, the "Western Whistle" during the Altan Khan period, has supported Erdemutu for a long time, Erdemutu still needs to have a direct lineage of his own. People and horses.

The princes of Daming would not have military direct descendants at all, so the most trusted person after they ascended the throne was the lecturer who had been their teacher.Mongolia is much more direct than this. "Huang Taiji" not only has direct descendants, but must have them. Otherwise, if something happens to the profuse sweat, it's hard to say whether Huang Taiji can take the position.

The two most direct examples are put there one after another: Did Xin Ai Huang Taiji have direct descendants back then?Not long ago, that Buyan Huang Taiji had direct descendants, right?

In the same way, Erdemutu, the son of King Shunyi, must of course have a direct descendant, and Gao Wuzhen now wants to make Waikalkha the site of Erdemutu's direct descendant.Gao Wushi knew that Hanaji would not refuse this proposal.

One reason is that after Abadai Saiyin Khan fled westward with his troops, the scattered tribes left behind were not strong enough to pose a threat to him;

Secondly, Huang Taiji originally needed a direct descendant, which is in line with Mongolian customs, and the distribution of Waikalkha to Erdemutu actually strengthened the power of the Great Khan-Erdemutu is his eldest son, A family of immediate blood relatives.

After the death of Tuotuo Chataiji, because none of his sons could carry the tripod, the three-legged division within Tumot gradually changed.Relying on the orthodox status of King Shunyi and Chechen Khan, Han Naji has an advantage in the process of enveloping them. Now the royal power is gradually strengthening. .

At this moment, if Gao Yushi wants to play balance, what he should do is to strengthen Zhong Jinhatun's strength to ensure that he can check and balance Bahan Najit.

However, Gao Yushi believes that the situation has changed significantly at this stage.With the victory of the Battle of Yuan Dynasty, the military power of Ming Dynasty was enough to shock the world. In addition, Hanaji was a pro-Ming faction through and through, and his son Erdemutu even knew the horror of Jinghua. As long as the father and son are still alive, it is impossible for them to waver about joining Daming.

In addition, after Chahalxi escaped, Tumot also needed to put more power in the west of his territory to help Daming defend, which required a powerful general Han Naji—after all, his direct descendant was Tumotexi. post.Therefore, it is a realistic need of Ming Dynasty to strengthen Han Naji's department.

As for the fact that Tumed's power tilts westward, it will make Ming's northern border safer, and this can be regarded as an incidental benefit.It doesn't matter if you don't belong, it's better to have some.

With so many benefits, if you don’t do it for nothing, you will have the action of Gao Yushi to stay in Yanqing Prefecture and wait for Hannaji to go south.Of course, such a major event has to be reported to the court and the emperor's approval is required.In particular, how many people Han Naji can bring to Beijing is the most important thing, and the court must quickly discuss and come up with a result.

At this time, Gao Wushi didn't know that Qi Jiguang would be tricked by Zhong Jinha and bring him a completely unexpected hot potato.
