Daming Yuanfu

"But what if the imperial court does not intend to give the Hetao to the Mongols anymore, but plans to raise horses in the Hetao itself?"

As soon as Gao Pragmatic said this, everyone in the audience was shocked. The generals stared at Gao Yuanfu with wide eyes, seeming to suspect that they heard wrongly - Yuanfu and King Shunyi were "An Da"! The two of them have maintained a high degree of mutual trust for almost 30 years, and their friendship has even affected national policies, not only maintaining the results of the "I'm paying tribute", but even becoming increasingly fruitful.

At the beginning of the "Ida Tribute", everyone in the government and the public believed that this move was just to temporarily stabilize the powerful Tumut Mongolia. When the government solves the financial problems and builds a strong army, sooner or later these Mongols will be All people are wiped out.

As for how Tumote views this matter, both the government and the opposition believe that it is just because of the continuous white and black disasters in recent years that they need to maintain trade relations with the Ming Dynasty to ensure the supply of materials. Once they regain their breath, they will not give up going south to plunder, and even entertain the idea of ​​restoring Mongolian rule.

However, both Gao Wenzhenggong and Yuan Fu's uncle and nephew proved one thing with facts: the tribute tribute is by no means a delaying tactic as both sides thought. It can truly ensure long-term cooperation between the two parties and generate mutual trust from this long-term cooperation. Eventually a certain stable situation will be formed at all levels including politics, economy, and military.

Therefore, later, the Tumote tribe obeyed the court's orders many times and counted the cavalry to accompany the court's heavenly soldiers to conquer Chahar and even Korean Japanese pirates. During this period, King Shunyi even sent his crown prince Erdemutu to his sect, Anda, to receive the purest Chinese cultural education. At this point, the relationship between the two parties has been considered by all onlookers to be absolutely intimate.

However, under such circumstances, Yuan Fu actually said today that he would take food from Tumote and take the entire Hetao occupied by the Ordos tribe for the imperial court to raise its own horses. Isn't it that Yuan Fu is afraid that King Shunyi will feel betrayed and something bad will happen to him?
This time, even Qi Jiguang felt a little uneasy and couldn't help but said: "This move... may need to be done with caution."

"Yes, Yuan Fu." Seeing Qi Jiguang's opening, Ma Gui immediately followed up: "King Shunyi has helped the court a lot in recent years... Now the Ordos tribe's westward migration strategy has arranged seven weeks for them. Such a treasure land as the Hetao area, but the land they left behind in the Hetao area was, after all, the place where they had been operating for many years. Even if they left, they must have believed that it should be left to their own Mongolian family.

Not to mention King Shunyi, the Ordos tribe's westward movement was a move that damaged his strength. Now that he can't even take over the territory left behind, then... no matter how well King Shunyi himself understands the righteousness, he may not be able to do so. It was difficult to convince his generals. The general is worried that at that time, King Shunyi may..."

When Gao pragmatic heard this, he thought that all the generals should form a unified idea, but unexpectedly, Li Chengliang expressed different opinions at this time. Uncle Ning Yuan coughed slightly and said: "Everyone thinks that Tumut will not accept this move, and even in his words, he is worried that Tumut will cause trouble. But from my point of view, it is Don’t worry too much.”

Everyone immediately focused their attention on Li Chengliang's face.

Li Chengliang has commanded the Liaodong Army for many years. He has never seen any big scenes, so naturally he will not have any stage fright. He glanced at Gao Pragmatic calmly and said lightly: "Everyone, Totuo Qataiji has passed away. Although Tumut is still strong, , but without the most powerful Mongolian general in charge, the remaining generals have enjoyed peace for many years... Under such circumstances, who in Tumote dares to stand up and compete with the invincible Nanning Hou?
Furthermore, you must not forget that the Tumut people have long been accustomed to exchanging most supplies from the Ming Dynasty in the past 30 years. As far as I know, they have completely lost even the most basic production capabilities of cloth, ironware, etc., and have long been concentrating on exchanging horses, livestock, lake salt, minerals, etc. with us.

Haha, speaking of which, Yuan Fu is far-sighted... In this case, why do the Tumut people question the court's decision? If they really dare to question it, I dare to say this: As long as Yuan Fu gives an order to cut off contact with the border gates and interrupt all trade with them, they will be able to reduce their number by [-]% in the white disaster this winter, and more than half of their livestock will be killed or injured. ! " At this point, Li Chengliang narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sinister glare flashed in his old eyes: "And if Yuan Fu still wants to be more ruthless, then... he can contact the Nen Horqin Department and promise them Chaha Er grassland, let them take advantage of the heavy losses of Tumut this winter to sneak attack Tumut.

At the same time, our court should also gather an elite cavalry team and arrange a time to attack Nenhorqin from both sides... By then, I am afraid that King Shunyi will become the second Jieli Khan. "

Jieli Khan, the unlucky man in Li Jingxue's night attack on Dingxiang and the khan of the Eastern Turks' subjugation.

Li Chengliang suddenly "explained" with examples, and all the generals were moved.

Perhaps it was because of the connection between father and son that Li Rumei suddenly felt blessed and immediately said: "That's great. Then Yuan Fu will lead his troops north again and capture Tumut in one battle. From now on, I will have no rivals in the Northern Territory of the Ming Dynasty! With this! With great merit, can’t Yuan Fu also be granted the title of Duke of Dai?”

Dai Guogong, this is the title Li Jing was awarded.

When Li Rumei said this, the generals suddenly felt that although Li Chengliang's words sounded a bit unkind at first, if the subsequent development is really like this... then it seems to be really acceptable.

In particular, Yuan Fu has unparalleled achievements, but he is still just a prince. If he can be granted the title of Duke for this, wouldn't Yuan Fu be excited? If Yuan Fu is also moved, wouldn't it be very unwise for us to still object?

Others thought a little deeper: Li Chengliang suddenly mentioned such a solution, which was a bit baffling. After all, he had been coming to the capital for retirement for many years, but he had never intervened in military and political affairs. What Li Rumei said just now was even more straightforward. In fact, she compared Yuan Fu to Li Jing, and then pointed out that Li Jing had the title of "Duke of the Republic of China"...

Yes, yes, Li Rumei is Yuan Fu's brother-in-law! Could it be that this method of disposal was Yuan Fu's intention, that the Li family and his son were "informed" at some unknown time, and now it is up to them to speak out... This must be the case!
"If this is the case, the general will think it is feasible." Although Cao Yu is about to retire, he has always appeared as a highly pragmatic direct descendant in the army. At this moment, he can express his position without hesitation - as long as it is beneficial to Yuan Fu, we Lao Cao absolutely supports it.
