Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1721 Post-war Waves ([-]) Internal Causes
A few days later, Commander Qi Jiguang, who has always been calm and calm, stood in front of Gao Yushi with an awkward expression, explaining all the accidents and helplessness to him.After listening to Gao Wushi, he could only sigh, his head was like a bucket, but he still asked Qi Shuai to sit down and talk slowly.

After listening to Qi Jiguang's description, Gao Wushi was not angry at all. After all, the other party was Zhong Jin Hatun with a very special status. It was difficult to refuse her request at that time with Qi Jiguang's identity, and it was difficult to regret it after learning the truth.

In fact, let alone Qi Jiguang, Gao Yushi asked himself, even if he was in the situation at that time, he might not be able to find an excuse to refuse without causing serious consequences.

Now the trouble is coming, the Butashli people have arrived in Yanqing Prefecture, and they have brought gifts and a personal letter from Zhong Jinhatun, can I refuse?Obviously not.

It's easy to say no, but the problems that may result are hard to predict.Originally, with Chahar's escape to the west and the actual handing over of the Outer Khalkha tribe to Erdemutu, the balance of power in the Mongolian grasslands has undergone serious changes. At this time, it is best to help Hannaji and his son stabilize the situation , turning the new situation into a normal state is most in line with Daming's needs.

This need is a need for the overall situation, that is, not only must they maintain a friendly Tumed, but also require them to be able to concentrate a relatively strong force to a certain extent against the threat from the west, and to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty's westward expedition in the near future. Restore and expand Ming's power in the Western Regions, regain control of the Silk Road, and determine Ming's absolute land power advantage in East Asian geopolitics.

However, judging from Zhong Jinhatun's actions, I am afraid that everyone underestimated this famous third lady in the original history.San Niangzi's political acumen is far beyond what she had imagined before. She not only sensed the fact that the situation has undergone major changes, but also very likely saw through the idea of ​​"strengthening the centralization of Hannaji and his son's power" in the high-level pragmatic vision, so she took the initiative to seek changes. .

As for why Gao Pragmatic was chosen instead of the imperial court or the emperor, it was of course because Zhong Jinhatun knew very well that the Ming court almost relied on highly pragmatic decisions to implement all matters involving Mongolia.That being the case, what's the point of looking for the imperial court and the emperor? Don't you have to go back to Gao Yushi in the end?

Only by eliminating middlemen to earn the difference can the profit rate be guaranteed. This truth is understood even by the Mongolians who are not famous for business.

It's just that the problem now comes to Gao Yushi. The first point is: if he doesn't agree, what will Zhong Jinhatun do?
This question is difficult to answer. Although Zhong Jinhatun, as a member of the ruler, and in fact, has so many years of experience, he should be very rational in nature, but Gao Yushi feels that it is not necessarily safe.

Because, judging from the performance in the original history, Zhong Jin Hatun's sanity often appears at the "last second", and before she feels that she is at the end of her rope, she actually has a very strong character of a gambler, which is really very dangerous .

In the original history, because there was no highly pragmatic intervention, Altan Khan's eldest son Xinai Huang Taiji successfully succeeded to the throne.In the 11th year of Wanli, the heir of the Ming court named Xin Aidu Longhan the king of Shunyi, and held a king ceremony in May.And not long after he became the queen of Shunyi, a large-scale war broke out in Tumetwanhu, the so-called "Battle of Dabansheng".

The occurrence of the Battle of Dabansheng has a profound background.Originally, during the Longqing period, the direct inducement for Alda Khan to pay tribute was the revelation of Hannaji.Therefore, Daming often thinks about his "first payment".Therefore, in the fifth year of Longqing, the Ming Dynasty conferred the title of commanding envoy to Bahanaji, which was the highest rank after Kundulun Khan and Xinai Huangtaiji, except for Altan Khan himself. job.

After returning Hannaji to Tumotewanhu, Altan Khan handed over the trusteeship of the Dubansheng people and the Xishao Lejin tribe to Hannaji and let him directly lead them.However, in April of the 11th year of Wanli, Han Naji fell off his horse and died while hunting. His wife Dacheng Biji took possession of his tribe according to traditional customs, and these tribes immediately became the coveted objects of other tribal lords.

At this time, it was San Niangzi who first provoked the internal strife.The third lady and Altan Khan had three sons: Butashri, Sha Chixing, and Yier Jiangxun, who were also Altan Khan's three youngest sons.

Because before they were born, Altan Khan had entrusted his subordinate part to six brothers including Xinai Huangtaiji, and the three Butashri brothers failed to get the entrusted tribe.This is obviously not commensurate with Altan Khan's love for them and San Niangzi's political status, so San Niangzi always seeks to obtain direct subordinates for them.Therefore, Hanaji's death provided an excellent opportunity for San Niangzi to realize her intention, and Hanaji's survivors naturally became her goal.

"In September of that year, the third lady saw that Dacheng Biji embraced all the tribes and Bansheng left behind by Alta, and was very heroic. She wanted to make a fool of him (that is, translated by Buta Shili), and she wanted to benefit from it. There is a gap between Taiji and Sanniangzi in politics, and they are not allowed to follow. Sanniangzi urgently asked the chiefs, Tubu, Tuguchi, Jilong, etc. to lead 2000 elite soldiers to encircle the big board. Tangbulang with Mangushe is based on the period of one day, so the army is like Thabu, wearing armor and fighting in Bansheng, killing more than 20 barbarian people including Thabu, and [-] people are born, and the wounded are counted as dead. Thirty pairs of armor were seized, and more than a hundred camels and horses; Thabu also killed Baerguda and other five people from Chataijiyi, and killed six of them, with similar injuries."

In short, starting from September of this year, the battle of Dabansheng kicked off.San Niangzi and Qiataiji are on each side, and the two sides are evenly matched in battle.

The outbreak of the "Battle of Dabansheng" caused a lot of shock among Tumet Wanhu and even Ordos Wanhu: "Therefore, the tiger hurt Wushen, and all of them went away, but Duo Luotu Man Mai Ligen and Aoer are both cutting off Huangtaiji, so it is really intentional."

This record says that due to the impact of the Battle of Dabansheng, the tribes killed by Huer and the leaders of tribes such as Wushi and Bayuete led the people to flee, while Mailigen Taiji and Ordos Wanhu of the Tumote tribe in Duolun Kutuk and Huang Taiji paid close attention to this and tried to play some role in it.

At that time, most of the leaders of the various tribes of Tumet Wanhu actually sympathized with or supported the Chataiji side, but the original Alta Khan court elites owned by Chataiji were only about [-], which was far less than that obtained by Sanniangzi. It's not as good as Khan Court's elite.

Therefore, in order to support Chataiji in his struggle against San Niangzi, Mai Ligentaiji provided material assistance to Chataiji.In November of that year, Chataiji took the opportunity to plunder more than 100 fine horses from Sanniangzi.

At this time, Zhu Taiji came forward to negotiate a peace for the two parties, and made a three-chapter agreement, stipulating that both parties are not allowed to kill people or drive horses. If they violate the contract, Zhu Taiji will punish them together.However, San Niangzi didn't take the agreement seriously, and sent people to Zhubansheng to plunder the livestock, which attracted Dacheng Biji to lead the crowd to help Bansheng.

At this time, not only the unity and stability of Tumed Wanhu were seriously threatened, but also a situation where the tribe was "tired of the army" and complained.Even San Niangzi's own camp had disagreements, but San Niangzi still insisted on going her own way, actively preparing for the war, and she would not stop until she captured Chataiji.

But at the same time, apart from San Niangzi, among those who spied on Dacheng Biji's people, there was La Like.In the Tumed Wanhu at that time, he was second only to Xin Aidulonghan and San Niangzi.

When San Niangzi wanted to take in Han Naji's survivors, Lalik saw that his father Xin Aidulong Khan was old and sick, and the government orders were mostly from San Niangzi. If the income is under the account of Butashri, then there will be a group headed by San Niangzi and Butashri mother and son in Tumed, which is superior to him in terms of political status and population. It is obviously a huge threat for Lalik to become the lord of Tumut Wanhu and the king of Shunyi in the future.

From Rick's point of view, the key to solving the problem is to bring people like Dacheng Biji under his command.Therefore, making Hannaji's survivors also become the goal that Lalik is determined to win.

In May of the 12th year of Wanli, when Sanniangzi and Qiataiji were at loggerheads, Lalik was also involved in the battle of Dabansheng.At that time, he heard the news that San Niangzi had sent someone to Dacheng Biji to give gifts, so he discussed the countermeasures with Chataiji and decided that Chataiji would accompany Lalik to the Dacheng Biji camp behind Daqing Mountain to marry Dacheng Biji. .

La Like's actions were discovered by San Niangzi's subordinates, and San Niangzi didn't know that La Like was also involved in this competition until she got the news, and took the initiative.So, without hesitation, San Niangzi sent troops back to the mountain.When they arrived at Houshan, they learned that Lalik had joined Dacheng Biji on May [-]th, and that the Western Sentinels led by Dacheng Biji had already belonged to Lalik.Therefore, although the battle of Dabansheng came to an end, there was a serious confrontation between Sanniangzi and Lalik.

Let's not mention the future, just from this period of history, it can be seen that although the third lady is submissive to Daming, she is extremely tough to the inside, and dares to strike hard at any time.Even Chataiji, who is recognized as the number one warrior in Mongolia, dared to fight against him, and relied on the strength of Khan Ting's elite to maintain an attacking posture.

Such a woman, whether she is simply eager to love her son, or has a strong desire for power by nature, Gao Yushi finds it quite difficult anyway.

Move her?Obviously wrong.She is a complete pro-Ming faction, so what's the point of touching her?All Mongols might feel terrified because of this—Da Ming even had to deal with such a thoroughly pro-Ming faction leader, so what is his attitude towards other people?Naturally, life and death are completely arbitrary. In this way, it is very likely that there will be a right-wing chaos, and even Ordos will not be spared, let alone the newly acquired Waikalkha.

What's more, with San Niangzi's personality, if Da Ming really shows signs of trying to touch her, who knows if she will fight back?It might be impossible to attack Da Ming, after all, she should be very afraid of Da Ming now.

However, Guihua City has always been held in her hands as Al Da's inheritance, and Han Naji is still her current husband, in case she pretends not to know, and waits to bring Han Naji back to Guihua City , what kind of tricks will be used to "handle" Han Naji, how will this matter end?

From the perspective of Ming Dynasty, first of all, of course, Erdemutu should be canonized as the new Shunyi king, but the problem is that Tumed's ruling structure has not changed, and the foundation of his rule is still the alliance of "Western Whistle + Khan Ting Elite".In other words, no matter how Hanaji died, Erdemutu had to continue to form an alliance with San Niangzi if he wanted to secure his position.

So, if Daming didn't want to see Tumed's internal division and ruled out the possibility of sending troops to suppress the rebellion, he could only go back and persuade Erdemutu to marry his stepmother and third lady to maintain political stability.

This is so fucked up... Gao Wushi felt his head hurt when he thought about it.

Qi Jiguang obviously knew the reason. Seeing that Gao Yushi, the talented Wang Zuozhi who had always been in his hands, frowned deeply, pondered hard and remained silent for a long time, he couldn't help persuading him: "Jingtai, according to the general's stupidity, after this battle , My Ming Dynasty has already shaken Mongolia, even if my actions are not in line with Mrs. Zhongshun's intentions, it is expected that she may not dare to act rashly..."

"That's the truth, but you can't rely on luck if the country's major events are not a last resort." Gao Wushi sighed, suddenly thought of Japan, and added: "Small countries are limited by their strength, and they may often have to do so, but big countries are not. If you can use a dignified formation, you can't be obsessed with surprise soldiers; if you can think of a perfect strategy, you can't be lucky. Qi Shuai is a great military strategist, and he should be the most familiar with the truth."

Qi Jiguang smiled wryly: "But how can we solve the current difficulties?"

"The present..." Gao Wushi murmured, "I think the difficulty seems to be in the present, but in fact it lies in the future. Therefore, to solve the present difficulties, we must focus on a few years later."

Gao Yushi's words were completely considered from the political aspect, so Qi Jiguang was rarely able to keep up with the train of thought, and said in surprise: "Jiguang is dull, please express it through Taiwan."

Gao Wushi didn't make a fool of himself, and explained: "The reason why Mrs. Zhongshun did this was not because of herself, but because of her son. She and I Da have three sons, and none of the three sons has been granted a title. Although Mrs. Zhongshun has the inheritance of I Da A few, but there are only two core parts: one is the elite Khan court that I answered earlier, after more than ten years, there are still some losses during this period, and now it does not exceed [-]..."

"Less than [-], probably only about [-] to [-]." Qi Jiguang interjected and added.

"Well, let's count it as [-]." Gao Yushi followed the good advice and continued: "This is the trump card in her hand. Besides, the most important thing is the Guihua City. Sanniangzi City (Guihua is later Hohhot, also known as Sanniangzi City), is not only the core of Tumed's rule, the capital of the Ming and Jin Kingdoms, but also the most populous city.

According to Jinghua’s informant, except for the blacksmith shop and weapons industry, the city’s other industries may have surpassed that of Daban Shengcheng, Hannaji’s old nest, and the population has also surpassed because of the advantage of the capital, which is said to have reached 10,000. There are so many +, this should be very rare in Mongolian history. "

That must be rare, after all, the Mongols used to be pure nomads and had no interest in cities.Although several cities were built in Monan and Mobei during the Yuan Dynasty, the permanent population in the city was very small. Ordinary people would go to herd herds for a living. What would they eat in the city?The Mongols did not have a nuclear-powered money printing machine.

When Gao Wushi said this, Qi Jiguang followed his train of thought and said, "Jingtai means that although its military force is elite, its total amount is insufficient, and its economy is too concentrated, so it is difficult to satisfy the division of the three sons?"

"That's right, this is the internal cause of San Niangzi's eagerness to change now." Gao Wushi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "But there is a paradox here, that is, if she leaves too much inheritance to her three sons in the future, it may be counterproductive. Come over to threaten Erdemutu's rule.

If I, Ming, want to solve this problem, I must find a magic method, which is to respect and satisfy a mother's feelings of protecting her son, and at the same time ensure the stability of the military power of the Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty. "

Qi Jiguang frowned: "This... seems difficult." It seems that these two premises are fundamentally contradictory, so it is naturally difficult.

However, Gao Wushi laughed and said, "It may be difficult, but now I have some new ideas."
