Chapter 846 The Great Emperor's Chess Game
"General, draw the car."

Shaotian eight years, spring.

Gansu Province, Xining Province, on Riyue Mountain, [-] miles southwest of Huangyuan County.

The emperor was playing chess with Mr. Yan, and the emperor made a check and took away one of Mr. Yan's rooks.Yan Wogong repeatedly slapped his thighs, regretting endlessly, and repeatedly praising the emperor for his wisdom.

"Mr. Yan's chess skills are really getting better and better, and I can win every time with difficulty." Zhu Yihai laughed loudly, my father Yan's chess is really good, playing chess with him can make Zhu Yihai every time There is a feeling of meeting the opponent in chess, every time I try my best to win the chess game with danger.

This kind of chess wins people very comfortable, but Zhu Yihai also knew that it was Yan Wogong who let him go. Yan Wogong's chess skills are much higher than his. He can control the game. Even if the emperor wins, there will be no That feeling of letting go of water.

"Jin Yiwei's secret play, Seng Ge's trip to Angelik Castle this time is very likely to have an accident, Chu Hu'er and Zhuot Babatur, as well as Kundu Lun Utes, and even Durbert's Aldar and Shuoqi Khan is getting closer and closer, and they have been plotting."

Zhu Yihai placed the chess pieces again, not surprised.

After meeting the alliance last year, the emperor began to return east, but he did not return to Beijing. He spent the New Year in Xining, and the next year he came to the Riyue Mountain Palace in Huangyuan County.

Although people are no longer in the Western Regions, the emperor has been paying close attention to the situation in the Western Regions.

After he left the Western Regions last year, Heshuote, Jailut, Kazakhs, Dawan, Junggar, Durbert, Turpan, etc. launched the final fierce attack on Yarkand. Although Yaole Bashan defeated his father, He seized the Khan position, but at this time the Yarkand had already set in the west, and a hero could not stand up to a pack of wolves, not to mention that he was not in the right position.

In only half a year, Yaole Bashan followed in his father's footsteps and fled to Mecca alone after a big defeat.Yeerqiang was subjugated, and was divided up by the coalition forces according to the pre-determined covenant of the Son of Heaven.

Heshuote and Jianlute obtained a large amount of land, and Junggar Duerberthuite also got some people and livestock.

For the pagan Yarkand and the Oirat-based coalition forces, they are merciless. Duerbert Junggar, who can't get the land, is even more rude. Wherever they go, they burn, kill and loot. The cattle and sheep were caught and robbed, and those oasis towns were looted.

The Ming army also captured many captives and used them as benefits for the garrison camps, towns, and patrol camps stationed in the Western Regions, and distributed them to them as farm slaves.

Yarkand perished, and the Western Regions appeared to be stable.

But under the surface of the calm is an undercurrent. Chu Huer of Junggar repeatedly created friction with his nephew Sengge and kept provoking border quarrels.

A civil war in Junggar is imminent, especially because of Huite's departure from Duerbert, who also has some disagreements with the imperial court, and Heshuote's Jinong Kundu Luntaishi has always been dissatisfied with Ming, and they have secretly discussed with Chu Hu'er formed an alliance, and Kazakh was even included in this alliance.

The Kazakhs were very dissatisfied with Ming's open support for the Nogai people to break away from independence, but they couldn't put down the Nogai people.

The chessboard is rearranged.

Zhu Yihai picked up the teapot on the tea stove and poured a cup of tea for the two of them.

Today I drank Tieguanyin tea, which is a very good green tea, also called oolong tea. Like Dahongpao, it is easy to misclassify tea.

Tieguanyin and Dahongpao are both evolved from Song Dynasty tribute tea dragon balls and phoenix cakes. It is also Zhu Yihai's Royal Shaofu Supervised Oolong Tea Factory that officially launched these two brands. From tea to oolong, the craftsmanship has been improved, but it still retains a lot of the unique sweet and fresh aftertaste of Fujian tribute tea, which leaves a lingering fragrance after tasting.

Now in the Imperial Tea Factory in Fujian, there is still the tea making method of the Song Dynasty dragon and phoenix cake, which is also very popular, and it is a kind of high-end tea.

But Zhu Yihai still likes Tieguanyin and Dahongpao, especially Tieguanyin.

"This Tieguanyin tea has a sweet and fresh aftertaste, a long-lasting taste, and a full aftertaste. With the destruction of Yarkand in the Western Regions, it has now entered a new stage. Lun Utes or Aldartes of Durbert, it is not surprising that they go together."

The emperor had expected these things.

It will come to this point, and it can be simply summed up as Delong Wangshu.

Duerbert was able to follow Daming back then because Zhu Yihai gave them a better future. After the death of Dalai Taishi, Duerbert was leaderless, especially after his successor son also died. It was because of the absence of a prestigious leader to lead the various ministries, which eventually led to Duerbert being scattered, or attached to Junggar or Heshuote, and those who moved westward with Torghut almost completely dispersed.

Zhu Yihai regrouped them, set up new pastures for them, not only gave them pastures, but also directly traded with them, so that they could recover, and finally allowed them to establish their own khanate, which was extremely beneficial to the entire Durbert. Attractive, and as a new leader with no prestige, Al Dartesh is of course willing to use the power of Ming Dynasty to unify the ministries.

But now why they have to go further and further away from Daming is naturally because they feel bullied by Daming. The Huite Department used to build a khanate with Durbert, but now it has Daming's support to separate and stand on its own.

Even in the distribution of benefits after the destruction of Yarkand, Duerbert did not get an inch of land, and they were also included in the original plan.

Anyway, the human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant. When Al Dartesh could only command a small number of nomadic troops and could not even control his own brothers, he obeyed Daming, but when he became Durbert Khan , He even defeated Junggar, and when he killed a hero like Batur Khan, he felt that it was all his own credit and ability.

He was already very dissatisfied with Hui Te when he separated, and when Daming established a military fortress in Duerbert, established a post station, and even immigrated to the farmland.

People are like this.

Chu Hu'er is similar, Zhu Yihai canonized him as a khan, and he had a good discussion with Daming before he was canonized, but after becoming a great khan, he was not satisfied with only commanding the right wing, let alone Daming's right-wing territory in Junggar The castles built were even very dissatisfied with Wusu and Bortala being directly occupied by the Ming army and included in Anxi Province.

Once Zhu Yihai leaves, they will definitely not be quiet and honest.

"Sengge is actually a pretty good young man. I know he has resentment towards me. This young man is not very good at hiding his thoughts. He thinks he hides it very well, but in fact, I can see it clearly."

"Then leave him alone?"

Zhu Yihai made a pawn to start the game.

"I asked Zhu Shifu, the county magistrate of Yanchang County, to talk to Seng Ge and remind him to be careful of Chu Hu'er, but he didn't listen to the persuasion and insisted on going to Angelique to see Chu Hu'er. Such a young man is determined to go his own way. What do you do?"

Yan Wogong heard what the emperor said. Daming reminded Sengge and fulfilled his responsibility, but Sengge himself refused to listen, and Daming was actually prepared for the expected development of the matter. It's not all bad.

As the emperor said, the situation in the Western Regions has entered the second stage.

And this second stage is what Da Ming is looking forward to, and it is beneficial to Da Ming.

The fundamental reason is that Ming’s strategic layout in the Western Regions is to continue to advance westward, and will not be satisfied with the superficial submission of the Mongolian tribes, but to set up Castles, post stations, and garrisons.

Even like in Hami Yanqi Wusu and other places, directly occupy the provinces and counties.

If everyone is in harmony, the imperial court has no reason to go west.

Only when there is another major turmoil in the Western Regions will there be opportunities in the chaos.

The strategy of a great power is such a cruel reality.

It is true that Seng Ge is the son-in-law of the emperor, but this son-in-law is not really reliable. He only has to rely on Daming to fight against his uncles and brothers. Only then did Chu Hu'er and Sengge become the Great Khan and the Deputy Khan, and separate things.

Now that they want to fight among themselves, the imperial court is of course happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

"Will something happen to Sengge this time?"

Zhu Yihai jumped on a horse, "It doesn't matter if something happens or not, no matter if something happens to Sengge, there will be a fight anyway, if something happens to Sengge, the court will support another person to lead the left wing, I think Galdan is quite suitable , the brother of Seng Ge's mother, and he is also the reincarnation of Wensa, with enough background, but he is young and easy to control."

"If nothing happened to Sengge, then their uncle and nephew would be able to fight harder."

Left and right are the same result.

"I have already asked Shi Zhu Shifu, head of the North Court, to strengthen the control of the Zhenxi Army. No matter how chaotic it is, it is best to defend Bohuo Xibao first."

"I have also notified Zhu Cunwu and asked him to control the Han Navy to guard Burqin Fort."

"The strength of Lutchechen Khan Oqiertu is very strong now, and Aksu, Baicheng, Kuqa and other places have been acquired by destroying Yarkand. Heshuotegushi Khan is also separated from him. If Junggar The Department and the Duerbert Department are defeated this time, will Heshuote take advantage of it?"

"If Heshuote is allowed to dominate the family, then they occupy the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains in the west and Qingkang Weizang in the east. Wouldn't it be possible for Tubo to flourish?"

Zhu Yihai fired a cannon and killed one of Yan Wogong's pawns, "Although Heshuote and Jianlute are both from Heshuote's department, they each have their own problems. Isn't Kundu Lun Utaishi also working with Junggar Chuhu now?" Have they teamed up, he will definitely stand up and make trouble soon, although Gushi Khan occupies Qingkang Weizang, but I got a secret report that he is going to die soon."

"Didn't Turubaihu still be strong when we met last year?"

Zhu Yihai laughed, and took advantage of Yan Wo's distraction to take a wrong step, and directly shot his horse with a cannon.

"Tulubaihu is indeed quite strong, but a strong person will also die. Turubaihu occupied Qingkang Weizang, and now he also occupies Kashgar, Yarkand, Khotan and other places, but he has many descendants. He entrusted his sons to be nomadic in Qinghai, and each united the Ministry. He also used his grandson to guard the land of Kham, and then the eldest son was in Weizang, while the youngest son commanded the most elite Heshuote Eight Banners cavalry stationed in Dangxiong. The general manager of Kashgar, Yarkand and other cities.

It is said that Gushi Khan has already made a will. In the future, the eldest son will inherit the position of Khan, and his family property will be inherited by the youngest son. In addition, Qinghai Kangba will continue to be led by these descendants. If you say that if he dies, He Shuote will be What's the situation? "

Lord Yan is also aware of the Mongol tradition of dividing families. In addition to dividing property, he will also divide his descendants into feudal titles in advance. Gushri Khan’s twelve sons are now all vassals of one side, and many of his grandsons have even been entrusted with one side. up.

If he dies, it is estimated that the Heshuote Khanate will be in chaos. Even if there is no chaos, it will be difficult for this new Khan to have the prestige of Gushri Khan, and it will be difficult to really order his brothers and nephews.

"Also, those two great monks in U-Tsang, do you think they are really satisfied with the current distribution of power? It is true that they invited Gush Khan, and Gush Khan also helped them eliminate Zangba Khan Wait, but they not only want to stand up, but also want the highest power. Now Gushi Khan is still there and can suppress them, but as long as he dies, there will inevitably be troubles and troubles over there, and the chaos will only increase. .”

The current power structure on Heshuote's side is that the two great monks enjoy the transcendent status of the leader of the Chinese religion, Heshuote Khan controls the military and political power of Qingbakangzang plus the newly occupied area, and the Khanate court established by Gushri Khan , headed by Diba, but Diba is also the chief steward of the great monk. This approach seems to be for the purpose of uniting Mongolia and Tibet, but it also has hidden dangers.

Once Gushi Khan died, all these problems would definitely erupt.

"Gushi Khan is really going to die?"

Zhu Yihai pushed a cart across the river and swept away a pawn.

"He won't survive this first month."

Yan Wogong immediately understood that it is estimated that Gushi Khan will die unexpectedly, but whether it was an accident, assassination, or poisoning depends on Jin Yiwei's arrangement.

It is estimated that they will do things very secretly, and even blame the monk or others, but since the emperor said that he will not survive this first month, then he must not survive.

Obviously, the emperor also prevented Heshuote from taking advantage of it later. This was to let Heshuote explode in advance, making the situation even more chaotic, so that Daming could fish in troubled waters.

Daming worked hard, so of course he couldn't make wedding clothes for He Shuote.

"What's your majesty's plan, if He Shuote really wants to mess up?"

"Let them mess up first. If the chaos is not enough, add a few more fires. When the chaos is almost over, we will intervene again. Then we will find a way to split the Heshuote Khanate. Qinghai can build a Khanate. Kang Ba can build a Khanate, Weizang will build another, and then build a Kashgar Khanate in southern Xinjiang, divide it into four, and the imperial court can take the opportunity to send troops to intervene. Now it is the same in Turpan and Junggar Khanate.”

Zhu Yihai was only canonized to U-Tsang at the beginning, and then sent a minister to Tibet last year, but he will not be satisfied with just sending an official, without soldiers and horses, then there will be no prestige in speaking.

"Where's Oziltu?"

Oqiertu is the leader of Oirat and the leader of the Heshuo Special Department who stayed in the Tianshan Mountains. He occupies the good place of the Ili River Valley, and now he has crossed the Tianshan Mountains and obtained Aksu, Baicheng, Kuqa and other places, and his strength is even higher.

"Let Chechen Khan send troops to help fight Chuhu'er and Kundu Lun Utaishi first."

Yan Wogong watched the emperor take another cannon from him, and he had already lost the game without giving up. After thinking about it for a while, he heard some voices. It seems that the emperor didn't intend to make Oqiertu feel better. I guess He also prepared a lot of tricks to trick him.

For a moment, Yan Wogong couldn't help being a little dazed.

The game of chess played by the emperor was really too big. It was not only to deal with Chu Hu'er, but also to take into account the entire Moxi tribe.

If this strategy is achieved, then even if the ministries can still survive, they can only completely crawl under Daming's feet, kneel and sing and conquer.

ruthless!
