Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 762: Brothers become brothers and establish a new Khan to recruit Jurchens to fight against the Mongols

As Xue Xilian proposed to incorporate Ryukyu into the management of Zhejiang, Xuan Xiang's heart immediately tilted toward Xue Xilian.

Today's governor is completely different from that of Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Qizhen. In the past, the main task of the governor was to maintain stability, and stability was more important than anything else.

But here today, political performance is more important.

The butt determines the head. As the governor of Zhejiang, Xuan Xiang naturally seeks interests for Zhejiang. After capturing Ryukyu, Zhejiang had both Ningbo, a large port, and Ryukyu, a transit point for Eastern trade. As a result, Zhejiang occupied an extremely advantageous position in maritime trade.

But Xuan Xiang still had doubts: "Ryukyu is a country established by the Holy Spirit as a country that cannot be conquered. Without sufficient reasons, we cannot use troops against Ryukyu."

Xue Xilian was very knowledgeable about overseas affairs and replied very confidently: "The Ryukyu Kingdom will definitely rebel. Their transit trade is all controlled by the imperial court. Ryukyu, from the powerful to the common people, has long been extremely dissatisfied.

The powerful might still be able to fear the Ming Dynasty and remain rational. But ordinary people are easily impulsive when they are slightly provoked by others.

For example, everyone saw the Southeast Civil War. Although everyone knew that the civil uprising would inevitably be suppressed, the people still rose up to resist, with the scale reaching millions. "

When it comes to civil unrest, it is convincing. During the civil uprising in the southeast, the imperial court sent Marquis Ningyang to lead the elite troops from the capital, and it was completely suppressed in just one year.

However, even though they knew that the Ming Dynasty still had elite troops from the capital, the people in the southeast were still not afraid. They resisted when they should and did not flinch at all.

Therefore, it is entirely possible for the people of Ryukyu to rise up and resist when they are oppressed by the powerful.

So the two governors reached an agreement to join forces to expand outward.

The wealthy governor of Fujian and Zhejiang seemed a bit helpless. The military generals in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces were more anxious than the two governors, especially Tang Jie, the Duke of Xin, who was eager to make great achievements in order to consolidate his position as the Duke of Guo.

Under pressure, Nian Fu also relented.

After reaching an agreement, the rest of the battle will be easier to fight. There are no decent enemies on the islands of Ryukyu, Luzon, and Taiwan. The Fujian Navy has participated in the attack on Japan. Now it is much easier to attack a small country like Ryukyu.

Zhejiang provides money and food, Fujian provides troops, and a ready-made navy can complete war preparations in a few months.

……

The fourth day of February, Qingyun Pavilion.

Zhu Qiyu sat blankly on the soft couch, looking at Wanshou Mountain and Kunming Lake in the distance, not knowing what to say.

Zhu Wenfang sat aside, flipping through military newspapers.

After sitting blankly for a long time, Zhu Qiyu sighed heavily: "I was also confused by the messy relationships among these Mongolian dignitaries. Originally, it was enough to support Maerguerjisi to become the Tatar Khan. Why did he suddenly pop up in Mandu? Lu.

This half-brother who wants to be a Tatar Khan also wants to be a Tatar Khan. Who should we choose? "

None of the people present dared to answer first.

Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to ask by name: "Tingyi, tell me your opinion."

Ever since the marriage between Qiao Feng and Ding Guogong's sister was settled, Zhu Qiyu had been cultivating Qiao Feng as a close disciple.

Fortunately, Qiao Feng is twelve years younger than Zhu Qiyu, so it is not too outrageous to accept a disciple.

Regarding this issue, Qiao Feng had already thought about it and immediately replied: "Wei Chen thinks that Guerjisi should be made the new Khan immediately.

Ma'erguerjisi has been in Beijing for many years. He understands Chinese and studies the meaning of the scriptures, and has a much stronger sense of identification with the Ming Dynasty.

Supporting Maerguerjisi will be more conducive to Ming Dynasty's control of Mongolia. Moreover, he is the parent and son of Tuo Tuo Bu Hua, and he is even more supported by the Mongolian tribes. "

Zhu Qiyu nodded with a smile, and then replied patiently: "Their situation at this time is very similar to that of the Ming Dynasty after the Tumubao Incident. You are young and don't know, but there were also very big differences in the court at that time. One side supported The emperor's eldest son Jianshen became the emperor. One side believed that the country relied on the eldest son and supported the establishment of me as the emperor.

Because Wala's troops would soon be at the city's gates, the government and the public had no choice but to support me in taking the throne.

Therefore, I have to support the theory that "in times of crisis, the country relies on its chief minister." This is also the basis of my legal principles.

Today's Tatars are facing the same choice. If they want to inherit from father to son, they have to establish the younger son of Tuo Tuo Bo Hua;

I am limited by my own legal principles, so it is better to stick to the rule of law. "

Hearing this, Qiao Feng broke into a cold sweat. I was negligent for a moment and didn't think deeply.

Sure enough, as a close minister of the emperor, you must be extremely cautious in everything you say and do. If you are not careful, you will make mistakes.

Zhu Qiyu smiled and reassured: "It doesn't matter, you don't have to worry too much, we talk behind closed doors, there is no need to worry so much.

Since this Mantulu escaped from death and is the younger brother who can't live without sex, let's let him try to be a sweat.

The grandson of Ala is also very young, so let’s simply make Mantulu the Great Khan of Mongolia if we don’t do anything. The original Oara Khan and Tatar Khan have been temporarily cancelled.

In this way, the Mongolian Khan Mantulu whom we support is fighting against their independent Mongolian Khan Agabarji, and we sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers.

Mantulu has already fled to Beijing, so he ordered the Ministry of Rites to hold a ceremony as soon as possible to officially canonize him. "

He Yi asked: "Your Majesty, who will preside over the canonization?"

"Let the prince go, Duke Dingguo and Marquis Wu'an will accompany him."

"After the canonization, will the court provide troops to Mantulu?"

Zhu Qiyu was questioned. Mantulu only had a few thousand remnants left under his command. If he was not provided with troops, he would be forced to die.

But how to provide him with an army? The Mongolian army currently under the actual control of the emperor only has the Duoyan Three Guards, and this cannot be left to Mantulu.

After thinking for a long time, Zhu Qiyu asked: "I allocated more than 100,000 to the captive Wala tribesmen to be slaves for the three guards of Duoyan. How about recruiting some young men from among these people?"

He Yi replied: "Taking people's money is like killing their parents. These captives have become the private property of Duoyan Sanwei's slaves. How can the people who eat them be willing to spit them out?"

Qiao Feng also added: "I heard that Harakuchu, the son of the Mongolian puppet Khan Agabarji, married Yexian's daughter Qiqige and gave birth to his eldest son Bayan Mengke.

Even if the three guards of Duoyan were willing to hand over the prisoners of Wala, would those people be willing to work hard to attack the son-in-law? "

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "What do you think we should do?"

Qiao Feng replied: "The Hulunbuir Grassland is the base camp of Agabarji, and further east is the Xing'an Mountains.

We can temporarily allocate the east of Xing'an Mountains to Mandulu for shelter, and provide arms, money and food, so that he can recruit savage Jurchens and Haixi Jurchens as subordinates.

This can make the Mongols and Jurchens consume each other. Anyway, we don't feel bad if either party dies. "

"Okay, let's give it a try first. Guangning has Fan Guang's 30,000 troops, Daning has Xu Tong commanding the Duoyan Three Guards, and Kaiping is about to transfer the elite of the Beijing camp.

We will be on guard, wait and see what happens, let Agabarji make the first move, and wait until we understand his true and false intentions. "
