Red House Shoufu

Chapter 243
It has been several days since the missions from the three countries came to Beijing, and Qian Qianli sent them to the palace immediately after receiving the letter of credence from the other party.

The emperor's meaning is very clear, it is impossible to cede land and pay compensation, but it is possible to trade and trade, but it must be dominated by the Great Chu.The army and guards in Hexi are guarding the important areas of the Western Regions, and it is impossible to allow grassland "merchants" to come and go freely.

The emperor issued a verbal order to the Ministry of Rites, before finding out the real intention of the Three Kingdoms, one word - procrastinate!

The Da Chu Tuo Jue is very proficient, and the missions of the Three Kingdoms don't seem to be in a hurry.Now it seems that people are also waiting, and what they are waiting for is the urgent delivery from Babaili today.

Qi Wenhua, the king of Xining County guarding the Western Regions, expelled many officials including the magistrate stationed in Xining Prefecture by the imperial court at the end of September. Except for a few secret guards who escaped from the Xining Thousand Households of the Embroidered Clothes Guards, all died in the guard.

Qi Wenhua publicly announced that the current emperor killed his brother and imprisoned his father, was mean and ungrateful, and murdered the four palaces of different surnames for no reason.The palace of Xining County and the three palaces of Dongping, Beijing, and Nan'an are in the same spirit, vowing to seek justice for the three kings.

At the same time, he supported the son of the former prince, Prince Yizhong, Gao Wanjin as the emperor, and swore to be his master in the Eastern Expedition.As the deported prefect of Xining and the only remaining embroidered guards fled to Liangzhou, the whole of Hexi was shocked.

Xining County Prince's Mansion has 80,000 standing troops, and there are no less than [-] soldiers stationed there. In addition to the young and strong replaced by the Palace over the years under the pretext of weeding out the old and the weak, there are already no fewer than [-] people under the command of the entire Xining County King Qi Wenhua.

As the letter from Xining County Prince's Mansion spread, Shui Rong, who had fled to the vicinity of Qingyang Mansion, also issued a call to arms, the content of which was basically the same as Qi Wenhua's, and specifically stated the reason for his defection to the capital.

According to Shui Rong, he accidentally found out the inside story of the emperor's assassination of Yizhong Prince Gao Wanjin, and in order to prevent his rumors from being revealed, he had no choice but to endure the humiliation and fled to Xingyang.

The two proclamations were so eloquent that they pinned several scapegoats on the emperor's head.After reading the letter, Qian Qianli's hands were trembling. Judging from the information collected from all parties, Qi Wenhua and Shui Rong had shaped the emperor into Li Shimin when he was at Xuanwumen, and Zhu Di who was going south after Jingnan.

It is estimated that the Supreme Emperor would not have thought that the almost son he had trained for eight years would turn out to be an ambitious man who killed his brother and imprisoned his father in others' mouths.

"It's true that the house leaked and it rained all night. Just after the water melting thing was over, Qi Wenhua jumped out again. Now there are Wala and Tatars stalking the north, and the people will suffer again."

Lin Shu gave Qian Qianli a cup of tea, put it on the table in front of him, and said: "Actually, this is also expected. Now that the four kings with different surnames, Nan'an has been abolished, and Beijing has defected, the only one left is to be recalled to the capital by the Supreme Emperor. The reckless Dongping Palace. Seeing that His Majesty has the idea of ​​​​cutting the feudal clan, Qi Wenhua thinks that the emperor is far away, and there are so many soldiers and horses under his hands, how could he be captured without a fight?"

"The Mission of the Three Kingdoms..."

Qian Qianli had a headache. If nothing happened in the northwest, even if Da Chu and the Oala Tatars went to war at the same time, there would be no big problem.

But now the Hexi guards have to respond to Qi Wenhua, if the Oala Tatars go south at the same time, the soldiers and horses on the nine sides will obviously not be enough.

Lin Shu asked, "Teacher, who is stronger, Oirat or Tatar?"

"Naturally, Oala's soldiers and horses are stronger. Oirat controls the most beautiful place in the grassland, and has contacts with the countries of the Western Regions. Unlike Tatar, the old king is newly mourned, and the princes seize the throne. So far, there has been no result."

Qian Qianli knew the situation of the grassland very well, and after hearing Lin Shu's questions, he gave detailed explanations one by one.

Lin Shu pondered for a while, and suggested to Qian Qianli: "Which prince's subordinate is the envoy sent by the Tatars this time?"

"The leader of the Tatars this time is Tutuochahan. It's hard to say who he is. But this person is the uncle of the old Khan King Borjijin Balsborot, and he is now powerful. Both Wushen and Kundu, who were fighting for the Khan throne, respect him very much. This time he can represent the Tatars going south, which is also the result of a compromise between the two parties."

After Qian Qianli finished speaking, he added: "According to my guess, Totuo Chahan should be more inclined to Wushen, the eldest son of the old Khan. The eldest son of the king is the only bloodline of the late Princess Khan. If the old King Khan had not favored the side concubine who was born in the Horqin tribe, Kundu would have no chance to compete for the position of Khan."

"Teacher, the student has an immature suggestion..."

Lin Shu murmured a few words into Qian Qianli's ear, and Qian Qianli's face turned serious after hearing this. The idea was good, but it was not so easy to operate.

Qian Qianli deliberated for a while, and then ordered: "The idea is good, but it's still a bit rough. Think a lot, think through this matter thoroughly, and then write it into a strategy and come to me. The old man will go to the Sifang Pavilion again to find out Get rid of Chahan's bottom."

"Teacher, the only ones that can really pose a threat to the country are Oala and Tatar. Compared with us, Oirat directly borders the Raksha Kingdom. Teacher, you might as well try the strategy of making friends from afar and attacking closely."

After Lin Shu finished speaking, he took his leave and left.With Qian Qianli watching, he left the Ministry of Rites.

When he returned to the cabinet, he didn't take a break, so he directly started writing strategies for dealing with Tatars and Oalas.

Lin Shu's idea for Qian Qianli is very simple. Since Oara is powerful, the Tatars are actually more worried about Oara's swordsmen than the powerful Dachu.That being the case, Da Chu can confer the title of Tatar Khan and provide an appropriate amount of supplies. It is best to adopt some methods to make the two parties fight.

For example, the gate of the mutual market can be placed in Yansui Town where the two forces hand over, or directly in the Datong area where Tatar and Dachu meet.

If you Wala want to trade with the Central Plains, you have to pass through the territory of the Tatars first, and you have to let the Tatars take part of the taxes.No one's money came from the wind, not to mention that with Wala's current strength, how could he be willing to be suppressed by the Tatars?

Come and go, the possibility of the two parties fighting is very high.One peach kills two warriors, as long as Dachu operates well, the strength of Tatar and Oirat will be continuously weakened in the internal struggle.When the Central Plains was stabilized, the Northern Expeditions were made several times. It was not believed that the northern prairie could not return to the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Many people know the method, but it is not so easy to implement.Tatar and Wala are not fools either, and people may not be able to guess what the court has decided.

Another point is how much assistance should be given to Tatar so that Tatar will not be annexed by Wala and will not threaten Dachu himself. This is another problem.Wouldn't it be self-defeating to keep tigers in trouble?
Lin Shu suddenly felt a little depressed while writing, he was still immature, his ideas were his own, and he wanted to be able to implement them to solve the problem, relying on the immature strategy on the paper in front of him, it is estimated that Tatar and Wala would sing and laugh. Offer yourself a white hada.

No wonder Mr. Qian just said to make himself think more. It seems that he is not only immature, but also a little too proud!
Snapped!Lin Shu slapped his thigh angrily, and then leaned back on the chair wearily.After pondering for a long time, he decided to go to the Hanlin Academy to check the materials of Chawara Tatar.

I examine myself three times a day, and now that I understand what my problem is, then cheer up and do this thing well.

Lin Shu threw half of the strategy he had just written into the brazier, burned it to ashes, and left the guard room.

Dark clouds are gradually rising in the sky, and it seems that another cold rain is coming!
