Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1989 Inside and Outside the Palace ([-]) The Day After Returning to Beijing
Everyone was busy that day, and Gao Yushi was no exception, but he was busy with receiving various officials and dignitaries who came to visit.

Yes, he did not go to the cabinet or the Ministry of Finance.After all, in name, he was returning to Beijing to report on his work. Baba ran to work a little bit clinging to power. Such "active work" is not a compliment in Daming.

The Practical School is currently the most powerful force in the imperial court. He is highly pragmatic and has long been the undisputed leader of the party. After returning to Beijing after more than half a year of expedition, it is inevitable to communicate with many people.

Some people have things to tell him, some things he has to explain to others, and even if the two parties are fine, seeing this side is an unavoidable "ceremony".

Although Gao Yushi did not return to the cabinet to work, he has already started to prepare for the deployment of the Western Regions war. The news of Gansu arrived in Beijing yesterday, but only the emperor and a few people knew the details. Today, almost everyone in the court knows.

Although Gao Wushi did not return to the cabinet to work, but in Daming, cabinet elders often influence the military affairs of a certain place through unofficial means, such as sending private letters to local main officials or generals, and giving them suggestions—called suggestions , In fact, orders, at worst, should be called "guiding opinions". [Note: This point has been stated in Volume [-] of this book. ]
Since private letters can suggest, face-to-face "suggestions" needless to say.In response to the change in Gansu's invasion of border areas, Gao Yushi also made arrangements.

First of all, in principle, the border invasion this time was indeed beyond the court's expectations, and the conditions for a large-scale counterattack are not yet available. Therefore, the local governors of the three sides and the governor of Gansu still need to preside over the defense work.

Secondly, the imperial court will mobilize material and financial resources to Gansu as soon as possible to support the local response to the Mongolian army, but will not mobilize additional troops for large-scale support for the time being.

As for the issue of troop strength, it will be resolved by the three parties in Shaanxi on their own.Whether it is recruiting the private army of the local general who was convicted of a crime, or temporarily raising the participation of folk bravery, the imperial court will support and approve it.

Thirdly, the performance of the Suzhou Guard in this battle was seriously below expectations. The three parties in Shaanxi and the local area in Gansu need to find out the reason as soon as possible. Or for some other reason, the three sides of Shaanxi and the governor of Gansu must give an answer as soon as possible.

In the end, the five guards of Ganzhou must stick to the Ganzhou defense line and must not retreat to the east. Those who violate the order must be punished by military law.However, the Ganzhou defense line does not necessarily have to stand firm and wait for help. The governor of Gansu can contact Tumed in Qinghai as the left wing, and Tumed Sha Chixingtaiji in the Achatu area as the right wing. The three parties will work together to defend Gansu.

Gao Yushi gave these instructions through Song Yingchang, Minister of the Ministry of War who came to visit. The last sentence of the three-way joint effort to defend Gansu deserves another explanation, especially the right-wing Sha Chixing Taiji.

Sha Chixing Taiji, the seventh son of Al Da Khan, is also the second son of San Niangzi.This Sha Chixing's brother from the same mother is Butashri who once had a very different relationship with Erdemutu.

In the original history, the three ladies made a lot of noise because of the three brothers Butashli. This point has been introduced in the previous article, that is, the battle of Dabansheng, so I won’t say more here.Just to say one thing, from the battle of Dabansheng, it can be seen that San Niangzi attaches great importance to how many tribes and territories her son can obtain.

However, before the outbreak of the War of Cutting Yuan, there was almost a big incident between Butashri and Erdemutu. The final result was that after the war, San Niangzi asked Qi Jiguang to bring Butashli to Gao Yushi. In addition, Bhutashri was asked to worship Gao Pragmatism as his teacher.

At that time, Gao Wushi felt very headache.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.Therefore, in this way, it is very likely that there will be a right-wing chaos, and even Ordos will not be spared, let alone Wai Khalkha, which was just acquired at that time.

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 definitely not possible. Although it is a Mongolian tradition, Gao Yushi really finds it difficult to accept, so he had to keep Butashri by his side for a while.

This period of time was not too long, and in the end, Gao Wushi did not formally accept Bu Tashli as a disciple, but made a compromise plan, accepting him as a "registered disciple"-in name, you can call me a teacher, but I don't preach and accept karma to solve doubts.

As for how to explain to San Niangzi, this matter is also easy to handle. The highly pragmatic reason is that Butashri has other appointments and has no time to stay by his side to teach slowly: he arranged a new position for Butashri and asked him Go together with Buzhai and Mingan to conquer the Sauron tribe.

Buzhai is Xicheng Baylor, one of the two Yehe Baylors. Ming An is the leader of the Horqin tribe, and the Sauron tribe is further north of Horqin. In fact, they are the "savage Jurchens" in Ming population.

What Gao Pragmatism meant at the time was that the savage Jurchens would be conquered by the three parties, and Da Ming had no intention of getting involved in the ministry. After the conquest was completed, the tribe would be divided equally among the three parties that sent troops.

Leaving aside Yehe and Horqin, the tribes that Butashri got will belong to him from now on.This is the "legitimate gain" that Gao Pragmatism arranged for Butashri.

Although San Niangzi is not particularly satisfied, but considering that the conflict between Butashri and Erde Mutu before and after the Northern Expedition was indeed quite serious, if her son is forced to "reward for merit" in the Battle of Yuan Dynasty, I am afraid Han Naji and his son will not agree, especially Gao Yushi may not support it.

Therefore, it is better to settle for the second best than nothing, so I agreed.In the end, the three joint attacks against the Savage Jurchens won. Although the battle was fought intermittently for more than two years because it was too cold there, they were still won anyway.

In the end, Butashri assigned more than ten thousand savage Jurchen adults as his part, and then he was assigned to the Wai Khalkha tribe in Erdemutu as a general, in charge of the expedition to the east of Wai Khalkha — this time against the Buryats.Geographically speaking, roughly he is now in charge of the expedition to the eastern shore of Lake Baikal.

After Butashri was sent to the east of Lake Baikal, his second brother Sha Chixing and third brother Yier Jiangxun also needed arrangements. Unexpectedly, the incident happened suddenly, and Yier Jiangxun suddenly fell ill and died suddenly, so only Sha Chixing was left .

Still under the intervention of Gao Pragmatism, Sha Chixing was sent to Hannaji to sit in the Achadu area.The main force of his trilogy is the 3000 people given to him by his mother Zhong Jinhatun, which is the elite of the Altan Khan royal court before the earliest, while the remaining 7000 people are the captured troops of the Chahar and Wai Khalkha tribes.In this way, the strength of Sha Chixing's troops is about [-].

The Achatu area is basically the later Alxa League of Inner Mongolia. It is located in the westernmost part of the "West Post" of Bahanaji's skill. It has a large area of ​​27 square kilometers, but its population is relatively small.The Alxa League of later generations has less than 30 people, as for now... remove a zero.

Of course, although the population does not seem to be very large, because it is bounded by Ningxia and Ordos in the southeast, the Hexi Corridor in the south, and Hami in the west, the so-called location is important, and the responsibility it bears is still heavy.Among them, Sha Chixing's main responsibility is to "defend the border"-to prevent the Chahar tribe from fleeing to Yarkand.

Since he was guarding the frontier, according to the current master-slave relationship between Daming and Tumed, Sha Chixing would of course have to accept the arrangements of the three parties in Shaanxi, especially to form a corner with Gansu, so he also had to obey the arrangement of the governor of Gansu.This is the reason why Gao Yushi ordered the governor of Gansu to make the Sha Chixing Department the right wing.

As for the left-wing Qinghai Tumed Zhihuoluochibu, this is even more complicated.Huo Luochi had a lot of roles in the Northwest Rebellion that broke out before the Battle of the Yuan Dynasty. Simply put, Huo Luochi was persuaded by Buri Hatu to participate in the rebellion and support Qi Bai.

At that time, the two brothers Huo Luochi and Zhuo Litu were deceived by the highly pragmatic strategy. In the decisive battle, Li Rusong beheaded Zhuo Litu, and Huo Luochi was defeated and fled.

Afterwards, because Gao Wushi was recalled by the imperial court, Wei Xuezeng succeeded him and continued to attack. Huo Luochi gathered the defeated army while fleeing. After fleeing back to Qinghai, he concentrated his forces again, but was defeated by Zheng Luo who was ordered to recover Qinghai.

Although Huo Luochi was defeated this time, but because of the lessons learned from the previous time, the loss was not too big, and he still had 3 people in his family.But now Huo Luochi was so frightened that he didn't dare to confront Daming anymore, so he sent people to ask for surrender.

Zheng Luo believed that the rest of Huoluochi had lost the courage and strength to fight against Daming after studying the judgment. At this time, Yirduqi and others also threatened Huoluochi and warned him not to do stupid things again, so the Ming court finally accepted it. His request to surrender ordered him to guard the remaining Tumed territory in Qinghai—as for the surrounding areas of Xining that were recovered by Ming during the war, that would naturally not be given.

In this way, Huo Luochi lost his younger brother and [-] pieces in the rebellion, and returned to Daming after a circle—or under Tumed's rule.

However, this defeat affected Huoluochi's prestige in Qinghai. In the following years, several tribes in Qinghai rebelled against his rule, and he had to send troops to suppress the rebellion. Therefore, the overall strength of Tumed in Qinghai continued to show. The downward trend, until now I don't know if he can still come up with an army of 2 - there is a high probability that he can't, maybe he can still have the strength of more than [-] people.

Due to Tumed's location in Qinghai, Huoluochi's rule was nominally under Tumed's jurisdiction, but since Qinghai and Tumed's headquarters were separated by the Hexi Corridor of Ming Dynasty, he was actually semi-independent.

Semi-independence has its advantages and disadvantages. The good thing is that Tumed’s headquarters generally don’t care what he does in Qinghai. The bad thing is that it is difficult to ask for support from Tumed’s headquarters when something happens in Qinghai. In fact, not only are there people in Qinghai who resist from time to time, We also have to face the invasion of some Tibetan tribes in the snow area.

As a result, his total force of more than 2 troops was not enough, and now he was ordered to serve as the left wing of Gansu... Even if he dared not send troops, he must have limited strength.

Highly pragmatically, he estimated that he would probably be able to produce [-] Mongolian cavalry, and he should not be too willing to fight tough battles, and probably only be responsible for some tasks such as containment and harassment.

Of course, in any case, it is better to send troops than not to send troops, and it is better to be persuaded by Brihatu to fight back again.In this way, there are [-] Mongolian cavalry available on the left and right wings, which will more or less help the current guard situation in Gansu.

Song Yingchang agrees with Gao Pragmatic's arrangement very much, and he knows that there is another key point in it, that is, the orders for Sha Chixing and Huo Luochi are most effective only when they are issued by Gao Pragmatically.

This is not to say that the orders issued by other Ming officials are useless, but that Sha Chixing and Huo Luochi may not be so concerned about the orders of other people. strange.

But Gao Pragmatic's order is different. No one in the right-wing Mongolia dares to ignore it, not even Han Naji and Zhong Jinhatun.After so many years of infiltration, coupled with his high and pragmatic reputation in Mongolia, his orders are probably far more useful in right-wing Mongolia than the emperor's imperial decree.

Song Yingchang quickly carried out the order, and at the same time Gao Wushi also wrote a book to relevant people and gave them "suggestions".Therefore, a society ruled by man is different from a society ruled by law. In this era, even if Gao Yushi resigns immediately and returns home, many people still dare not listen to his words.

After returning to Beijing, he spent the second day in such a busy manner. Gao Yushi, who had finally planned to rest, had just returned from his study to his bedroom when he suddenly found that the light was still on in Gao Yuan's room, and he couldn't help being a little curious.

After pondering for a while, he walked over.
